[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the same deal at my son's (different) MS. Everyone is in HIGH and Advanced English. Those are essentially his 2 easiest classes, though the advanced math class he's in (not AIM, they don't have that anymore at our school) is also quite easy. He was selected for the TPMS magnet but we chose not to go (and was in the lottery for both). That being said, he gets some outside enrichment and starting a foreign language this year has been a challenge, so it's OK to not have everything be over the top. Still disappointed with MCPS (for instance if it was better in math, we might have stopped doing RSM for math enrichment.)[/quote]

Which MCPS does your son go to?

For next year, schools are saying the new rule is that kids can only take HIGH when identified by central office, so that should be changing for 6th grade.

It's a huge problem IMO that all students take advanced English. What a joke, especially for kids coming from CES/ELC.

My kid went from a regional CES to her home MS and Advanced English was a huge joke.  [/quote]

This is currently true at all MCPS MS. They really need to rethink Advanced English. Otherwise, I'm fairly happy with their MS curriculum. FL, HIGH and even AIM were all great.[/quote]

My kid started 9th grade this year and definitely was NOT ready for it, as far as Writing goes.  The MS English is simply terrible.  [/quote]
