[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree that some schools equate less rigor with more focus on mental health. It's the opposite for my kid. They like to be challenged and boredom makes it more likely they will have mental health issues. It was frustrating at another school last year for this reason (not Burke).[/quote] Right. (OP here). I respect that everyone is different but the assumption that mental health means low standards/ no work is not true for everyone. Like not having regular school for 2 weeks (obviously that was for many reasons), then shortening the school day for another 2 weeks, plus no homework for the rest of the year…. Means more lying around, playing video games, watching endless TV. This is also bad for mental health. Not everyone has parents who have time / ability to WFH, figure out activities for kids, etc. [/quote]
