[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like it is hard to pull out the truth on these threads. There seems to be people who feel that if they don't round up the hw hours that people will look down on their schools and they will not seem as elite. [/quote] What you forget is that there is a large range of GPAs at these schools. There are kids who get straight As (exceedingly rare), and kids who get straight Cs and everyone in between. I would say that almost all the high schoolers are INTELLECTUALLY capable of doing the work but how much studying they choose to do varies a lot. My daughter has friends who study 4-5 hours a night for straight As and friends who have firm limits on how much they will study and are fine with Bs. It's really quite possible that if you asked 2 different families at a school about how much their kid studies, you would get 2 completely different replies. Within my daughter's 8 person friend group there is a large spread. [/quote]
