[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DD is entering 8th grade and we are in MoCo, zoning eventually to BCC. She told us last night that she is interested in looking at private schools as well as BCC. We, and she, are hoping for a high school experience where she is pushed to excel but without 4 hours of homework on top of extracurriculars. [/quote] GDS is not that school -- unless DD will deliberately structure her schedule to leave herself time for other things and won't write herself off academically if she's not always taking the hardest courses and getting the best grades. The workload actually gets heavier -- not lighter -- for the (somewhat self-identified) very bright kids.[/quote]
