Mine are in a charter school that has an accelerated curriculum meaning that it is basically one year advanced.

I was a bit cynical on it truly being one year ahead until my wife and I visited the local elementary school which is considered a pretty good elementary school in Union County. We visited when the 3rd graders were doing math and my wife and I stopped and just looked at each other. The counselor giving us the tour asked us what was the matter. We informed her that our children had already completed the math lessons being taught. She then reassured us that there were some timing differences in curriculum delivery. We then told her that our children were not in 2nd grade. Not third.

That said, don't really think our kids are exceptional brainiacs but I do think they adapt to what they know. In this instance they have adapted to the accelerated program and do fairly if not quite well. It is a bit harder on the parents and the child most likely but we are conditioned to it and will be better off in the long run. I don't like some of the things but the alternative scared me

Not sure if this is what you wanted to know. Ping me if you have other questions

Like any other school, some are good and some lacking.

Mine have been in charter school since 1st and now in 7th and 9th. Multiple language classes over the years.

Schools are like gyms. The more you go and if you use all the tools available you get out what you out in.

Keep doing homework until you find what you are looking for.

My son placed into the gifted program. He's in 2nd grade and consistently test 2 grades ahead in reading and math . I'm trying to decide if we should move him to the magnet for advanced kids where he is given advanced material all day and guarantees placement in the IB program or keep him where he is and the pull him out for only an hour a day.

Cons of the magnet are distance and it's partial magnet and in a low income underperforming school which causes some concerns socially.

Yes.

Get him on the path towards IB.

I feel ya on distance. I have been driving from Park rd shopping area to Mckee/Weddingto rd area for years now in the am. Myers Park and Alexander Graham middle are all of 2 miles from my house but we are not in that zone.

We've been planning on moving to that zone because our middle school is unacceptable. Still might.

      yeah, I think that side sort of emerged at the end of the prior year too and just stuck.  The Gamecock game specifically.  Didn't he have to apologize for saying too much after Dabo botched that one on trick plays and stuff?  But I mean, I think he was right.  Not that you want your player saying the correct thing publicly lol.   Think he just got frustrated Clemson could of won more games than they did....if it was just about that and not trying to develop DJ and then Cade.  I mean, I do think running and grinding out Shipley/the ground game and playing D....probably could of won some of those losses.  and that CJ Spiller incident on the sideline is a legit dislike moment this past year.   And I largely ding most guys hard for those type things.  Which I probably give him a pass on.  end of the day, I just want a natural pass catcher in the backfield and to round out the backfield better.  I forget about Trotter in this draft.  I do think if a Tiger is signed, it's a front 7 guy.  Just like fearing them overdrafting Shipley.  Part of me worries about Ruke.

      Blank? I’m not a fan of owners being overly involved in draft day decisions, that’s what you hire the GM for, but you should at least be involved enough to veto a decision like this if it is something you would be “furious” over. Also, they knew they were doing this before the draft. The first 7 picks played out pretty much exactly how everybody thought they would. This couldn’t have been a surprise. I don’t know if I’m buying that Blank didn’t know what was going on. Maybe just trying to play good guy with Cousins to keep him on board.
