[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So our school that is often discussed is so far not doing well in admissions. This in contrast to a school everyone on DCUM makes fun of that seems to be getting everyone in so far. If I could do it again, I would choose another school. You need to have rigor for college but rigor at our school means you are doomed to have a B on your report card. Rigor at the joke school means straight As with an honors tag. Same result or better from the joke school and better quality of life.[/quote]

We chose a school that we expected would be balanced...sports, academics, quality of life, for a HS student that values that. Its has been a lot more work than we expected, with teachers giving quizzes with one day notice on top of several hours of hw from other classes. It's not everyday but it is often enough that we haven't been able to get into a workable groove or consistently score well (sometimes even passing) on tests. Also a straight A middle school student. Hoping things even out but losing hope.[/quote]

We...? untether yourself from your child, land the helicopter, and things will get better, trust[/quote]

LOL, yes...working on that.[/quote]
