[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op—I think you are going to have tough time getting a good answer to this because there are a lot of parents invested in the bragging rights that come with an incredibly rigorous school. Admitting it’s performative (if that is in fact what’s happening) will detract from their perceived status.

On the flip side if you say it’s performative people will say something like “that’s just because your DC can’t hack it” which may or may not be true.

[b]Having had more than one kid in private HS in the dmv, I will say that different schools approach hw very differently. One DC’s workload was over the top and I would call it performative. Stressed them out to no end. Another’s was far more reasonable volume wise, but had very strict standards around that hw. [/b][/quote]

I agree with this bolded portion. We have experienced the same at two different schools - both top 3/5.[/quote]

What do you mean by “very strict standards” out of curiosity [/quote]
