[quote=Anonymous][quote]My kid is in CES and the pressure is intense. The teacher seems set on breaking the kids with an excessive volume of work. I’m definitely in favor of doing things more in depth but the focus on volume is inappropriate for this age. Kid has made good friends so won’t drop out, but it’s not as fabulous as folks here would have you believe and if I’d known then what I know now I’d probably have said no. Thanks for your perspective. -OP [/quote] Not our experience at all. I have a fifth grader at Barnsley and while there's a lot of writing, the workload is not what I'd call intense. Kids have plenty of time in class to do the majority of their work. Not much homework if they use their time wisely at school. There are a handful of larger projects that require doing work at home -- maybe 1 a quarter.[/quote]
