[quote=Anonymous]I taught at a "challenging" private school where lots of homework was the norm, even in elementary school. The kids were burned out by high school. Is your DD happy where she is? Does she seem to enjoy learning? I would explore the reasons why you think she isn't giving 100%. Lack of motivation and interest could be possibilities. I would suggest you look more at a potential school's philosophy and teaching approach than how much they push students to excel. Also, bear in mind that even the best schools can't force a student to be successful. Each student has to be driven by a love of learning, and some internal motivation to succeed. [/quote]
