[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that literature in the humanities is open to all Eastern students, not just those sixth graders in magnet, how do you think that will change your decisions about electives? [/quote]

This was true when my child went through the program as well. It's not a new development. From my kid's reports, there were only a handful of academy kids who chose to take the class, and in some cases it took more than a year for my child to realize those kids weren't in the magnet. My child just thought they had the opposite schedule. From that, I can deduce that there was no great chasm between the abilities of the kids in the magnet and the kids who self-selected to take this elective.[/quote]

What are “academy kids”? I’ve never heard that term used at Eastern.[/quote]

It’s a phrase sometimes used by the school to refer to the non-magnet program. Sometimes they say “comprehensive program” instead.[/quote]

No one at the school uses those terms. It's referenced somewhere on the school site on some pages that probably came from the 1990s.[/quote]
