[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s been like this for yea and getting worse.  I never saw any homework come from WMS and still don’t see any at Yorktown.  My youngest is in private and it’s a night and day difference.  She gets homework consistently.[/quote]

Your kid doesn’t have homework even in HS? My oldest just started 9th grade at another APS HS and has already had a fair bit of homework & has multiple quizzes/tests this coming week to study for. He has gotten some done at school but definitely not all. [/quote]

Are they in AP classes or general ed? Night and day experience. [/quote]

Not AP, but intensified classes. Also, the syllabi I had to sign does not match with the APE letter above, at least not entirely. For example, they definitely state that students get a 0 if they cheat. And I’m pretty sure no minimum grade of 50%. [/quote]

Well APE is known for a lot of screaming without having all the facts.

Previously some teachers allowed test retakes and some did not. That wasn't fair. Some allowed it for kids who got a C but not for kids who got a B. So a kid who got a C could retake the test and end up with a higher grade than the kid who got a B on the first take but wasn't able to retake. THAT was infuriating. Now the system is standard and fair. I'm good with that. [/quote]
