[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was at the SSIMS meeting too and what I understood was that they have the advanced placement for Global Humanities, but you have to be placed into it by the county's central office. It's like the very highest math class -- the kids are only assigned to that one by the county. So, maybe these are the magnet eligible students who don't get selected in the lottery?

On Parentvue, my son was  recommended for a math class by his current teacher, but nothing else. [/quote]

This is correct.  My son qualified for the MS Magnet lottery both for Math and Language Arts (he was at the Centers for Enriched Studies in 4th and 5th grade), but he was not lucky enough to get the lottery win.  He was placed in AIM and HIGH in his home school.  He’s in 7th grade now, and I do think that the curriculum for AIM and HIGH is challenging enough for bright kids.  Just the past two semesters, they’ve been working on a project for National History Day that teaches them rigorous writing tasks/themes like creating annotated bibliography, Cornell Notes, etc.  The project is due on Monday, but my son and his project partner are still working on the final product *sigh*[/quote]
