[quote=Anonymous]No, GDS does not reward kids who blow off things. If they do, their grades will suffer as will their college options. But, it does expect high schoolers to learn to prioritize their time and understand the consequences of their choices. The general theory seems to be to give them as much independence and autonomy as they are ready to handle, knowing that their will be some slip ups. As a GDS parent, I see it as great preparation for college. Yes, some students are really stressed out because they think their lives will be ruined if they don't get into their first choice college. But, most are driven because they want to do well and they want to be really good at their job - being students. I doubt that is terribly different than at any other private or public high school.
