[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - this is what I expected from the Catholic schools.  Can someone weigh in about how the independents deal with late work at the high school level?  Are they more nurturing or is high school the time to focus on accountability.

I'd love to hear from Bullis families too. [/quote]
Is there a reason your high schooler can’t be expected to turn assignments in on the date due? If you’re not looking for accountability by high school, then by college? Nurturing does not equal “rules and due dates don’t apply to me.”  Otherwise, check out the high schools with strong centers for students with learning challenges or differences. Some of the Catholic diocesan high schools have excellent support. [/quote]

I was coming to say something similar. Unless OP plans to support your child throughout life and have a job for him/her when he graduates college so being able to meet deadlines and be accountable is not a thing, then your should WANT your child at a college prep school that enforces deadlines.

Unless, your child has executive function issues then which case, explore support services at schools. We got independent assistant for him but it matters and could be a personal issue not necessarily related to school. [/quote]
