High School -- Education


Question Posted Saturday March 1 2008, 7:31 pm

My sister is currently in grade 8 in a public school. but shes going to a catholic high school in grade 9.
she has a 79.0% average and took all of her courses in academic. So the question is: Do/Did if any of you thought/think it was hard? if you did take/took it.
And is it true that academic is all text book work? And that you dont get help from the teacher?

thanks in advance.

How hard the school is would really depend on the school. Some Catholic schools are harder than others.

Academic is seen as more the "textbook work" style of learning, though how helpful the teacher is really depends on the teacher, not the curriculum.

Generally the difference between academic and enriched courses is not really the amount of work, but the type of work. Academic courses generally deal with basic concepts, and there are a lot of little easy questions to answer. Enriched assumes you know the basics, and you have a few large projects where you have to do a lot of work and go really deeply into the material of the subject.

A way you can think of it is academic English teaches you grammar and sentence structure and the plot of the story, whereas enriched English teaches how to write an essay and the meaning behind the plot.

no i didnt think it was hard. you just have to know your strengths and weaknesses...and nooo academic work isnt only textbook work. and YES you do get help from teachers. trust me...they just scare you in middle school. just remember to tell her to do her hmwk !! she has to stay on top of that. dont worry, it may seem scary at first but its not it really isnt. feel free to msg me in my inbox if you have any more questions okay?
