Placement Guidance Please
Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2015 12:09 am
I have been reading y'alls previous posts, and think I have come to a conclusion, but would like to make sure it would work ok. My 11 yr old son is in the 5th grade this year, and he really wanted to do the medieval period, so we started with Res to Ref. I would like for him to cover all four middle school grades, so would it be ok for us to use CTC next year for 6th grade with the extensions, then go to Rev to Rev for 7th and MtMM for 8th? Will it be a problem or make it difficult for him to start higher, go backwards then jump forward again? Or should I just go on to Rev to Rev for him? I do think that I should have just started him on CTC, but he seems to be keeping up pretty well, and doesn't have a problem with all the writing. It's more the critical thinking and reasoning through things he struggles with. I want to make sure he stays on track and doesn't get behind then frustrated jumping forward. Advice???
Thank you!
