My older ds11 is taking the course currently, so we know what he's missed. He completed the test review sheet my ds11 had with little problem even without explicit instruction, so I'm much more hopeful this is the right move.
Unless my older ds gets bumped as some other kids have moved this week (our EOGs just came in), my two sons will be taking the course concurrently with different teachers (one online, one in middle school).
We do have what's called "team teaching" where the SME for math/sci and ELA split the multiple classes so they can focus on what each teacher teaches well. The school has also shifted into "blocks" of time to make movements between grades simpler than in prior years--this is a change to help implement the newly revised AG standards that our state mandates--also now push in, rather than pull out in elementary. However, my son is the only one in the school (of 1200) who has subject accelerated, so we are a work in progress
.
thanks for the opinions!
