[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]while i don't see grades yet - one of my 9th graders said her teacher told her today that most of the class got As with a few Bs on the LS-MISA. This is an advanced freshman bio class

All bio classes are designated as "honors," so there's no such thing as an advanced bio class (same with English - everyone's "advanced"). [/quote]

I think maybe there is Apex bio at one of the Ws and Global bio at Poolesville? There may be more [/quote]

That Apex bio class is crushingly difficult this year so I would hope those kids got As![/quote]

yes it was insanely difficult this year - especially the first semester - one of my kids APEX bio classes every student got an A on the MISA - so the teacher just told them out loud that they all got an A. The other class there were  a few Bs so he had the kids come up one by one if they wanted to know their grade.[/quote]

Any idea if apex bio will be same next year? I have a kid scheduled for it and he is nervous. Any tips to prepare?[/quote]

rumor has it that they might be dropping apex bio as it was 'too difficult' - i think they need to keep it but teachers need to change how they teach it[/quote]

I think it was maybe a little the content but also a lot the teacher’s way of presenting the content and lack of support for kids transitioning from much easier MS science classes.  It’s sort of a disaster and I get the sense no one is on the same page.[/quote]
