[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poolesville SMCS program is intense. If your kid doesn’t like STEM, don’t force them to choose this program. Only highly motivated kids with [b]strong self teaching [/b]abilities fit this program. 3 out of 62 students in class 2027 dropped out of smcs so far. Many are also suffering but their parents don’t allow them to quit.

[quote=Anonymous]My kid got into all 3 but has decided against SMCS. How do Global Ecology and Humanities compare in terms of peers, teachers, work load, time for extracurriculars? She doesn’t know what she wants to do in life. [/quote][/quote]

Also, at little over half of the kids are actively cheatiNg on tests and quizzes, while the teachers barely look up from their desk for the whole duration of the test. They cheat off each other in groups and look on their phones for the answers. It’s ridiculous and really punishes those students who don’t cheat by pulling the averages much higher then they actually are. 
 “Strong self teaching”…that’s a much nicer way of saying the teachers don’t teacher worth sh** and waste time yapping all kinds of nonsense in class and  leaving the kids to learn the material on their own.[/quote]
 Yup that’s what my son says too who is a Global student. The workload is so punishing in SMCs that most are known to cheat. My son takes SMCs electives so that’s how he knows.[/quote]
