Well, Wm lasted 1 day in The Language of Science. He took a pre-test on the first day of class (yesterday). Then, when he went to school today, they pulled him out of class and told him that he had already mastered the class material. So he has been moved up to Who's Swimming in the Gene Pool? That is, apparently, a class about cells, genetics, and evolution. They even get to do a reach project on genetic diseases.
When he texted me that he had been moved up in science and then followed it up with "who's swimming in the gene pool?" I thought he was being cocky. Like, "they moved me up - who has genius genes?!?" When he got to my office and I asked what class they moved him to, we had quite the circular conversation for a minute while we figured out what the other one was talking about.
Wm is in these classes for 8 weeks. In that time, he has to master them. Then he moves on to new classes. If he doesn't master one of the classes, he has to remediate it until he does. Mastery is scoring a 90%. I guess that means Wm will graduate with a 4.0!
