[quote=Anonymous]OP. how comfortable are you with letting your kid fall? Not "fail," because no MS/HS experience is going to doom your kid. But if he gets Cs because he doesn't work hard or turn things in, simply because he doesn't feel like it, are you willing to let him learn from that, or are you doing to think he needs more support? Do you currently help him with his homework, or do you tell him that's his job? My kids aren't at HB (one wasn't interested, one didn't win the lottery), but their friends have said that the school is not that different from any other in 6th grade, then becomes very much about giving kids responsibility for what happens with their school experience. For some kids, that's been great. For others, it might have been great, but their parents couldn't bring themselves to shut up and let the scenario play out. [/quote]
