[quote=Anonymous]It's been a few years but my DS went from a Fairfax County middle school to Gonzaga. The biggest adjustment for him was academic expectations. In FCPS, if he didn't have to hand something in, he would not do the suggested readings. They never had unannounced quizzes. They were allowed multiple retakes. At Gonzaga, a teacher might have a quiz on the reading he was supposed to do the night before. And since he didn't do the reading, he performed poorly on the quiz. It took him a couple of weeks to realize that he needed to do whatever was assigned even if the didn't have to hand it in the next day. He was prepared for the workload and had no problem with the rigor of the work. It was just the expectations that was the adjustment.[/quote]
