[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The truth is when your kids get to high school, they’re probably going to want to be in classes with their friends, the “smart kids”.[/quote] I teach academic level and honors. The popular kids are in academic level as well. [/quote] Well, that was my kids' experience. They attended a "gifted and talented" program in middle school, and when they moved up to high school had the choice between taking regular classes and the advanced ones. Even though they might not have felt like they wanted to be pushed to do more work in the advanced classes, the truth was that all their friends and the so called "smart kids" were taking the advanced classes. The peer group was all taking the harder classes. The regular classes were not the kids they considered their academic peers and there were much lower expectations for behavior as well. [/quote]
