[quote=Anonymous]Unstructured?! There's nightly homework, frequent quizzes and tests, and large assignments are broken down into smaller chunks with intermediate due dates or progress checks. Assignments, due dates, and supporting material are posted on the web. What kind of structure were you looking for and not finding? GDS gets great college results because they admit smart, mostly privileged kids and then they teach them the skills they'll need for college. Nothing mysterious or unique. Good teachers and small class sizes make it possible to focus on writing and to have seminar-style discussions, so there's a lot of continuity between what kids do in HS at GDS and what they'll be expected to do at elite colleges.
