[quote=Anonymous]My son is from Carson and was thrilled to find everyone he knows at the Skyview orientation.

If I had to guess, they will group the kids in pods based on what they are taking - it's not as hard to figure out as you might think- the kids taking honors in 9th grade will all be in the same pods together. Maybe one pod will be for the honors kids who already took Algebra 2 so have a higher math.

They are not going to require 32 kids per class. My other kids had far less than that in some classes at Chantilly so I don't know where that statement came from.  If there are only 10 kids wanting an elective, then yes, they might not offer it but I think you get to 15-17 and it's a go.

The way the pods work they said is that they flex time allocations on core subjects based on what they are doing - a biology test might get a 2 hour block vs 1.5 hour and other teachers reduce their schedule to fit - they try to align content to reinforce the other subject related concepts.  I know a teacher whose is going to be there and they are excited for it.[/quote]
