[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of families, including ours, had to pick between CES and sports. We wanted DS to be happy, which meant switching back to home school to have time to do after school activities[/quote] It’s definitely kid-dependent. Mine was utterly miserable with the tedium of the standard classes, and thrived in the CES environment. No amount of after-school activities ever made up for the endless repetition and flip-charts that made the school day an endless slog for her. She generally didn’t even mind the homework, because there weren’t a lot a worksheets and repetitive examples. It was reading and analyzing, creating presentations, and allowed a lot more scope for creativity and independent thought. The CES wasn’t perfect—nothing will be—but for my kid, it was a game-changer. And she still managed to do after-school activities a couple of days a week, with the understanding that homework came first. [/quote]
