[quote=Anonymous]I have a child in CES currently and a child who graduated from CES. Their homeschool wasn’t far from the CES school so that helped a lot (the older one is in MS now and it’s the same cluster). If they had a long bus ride, we probably wouldn’t have sent them. However—at older child’s promotion ceremony they read each 5th graders favorite memories from ES and a lot of the CES kids said the bus rides, so there’s that! Pros—work is definitely more engaging and challenging. Lots of fun projects, fun extras like school plays, made new friends. Cons—more homework, lost some friends by moving schools, missed old friends (but play sports with them so still see them). Because my oldest didn’t get into a magnet middle, going back to a regular curriculum was hard (global humanities and math are advanced, but English is not at all, and that was the hardest adjustment—it’s a huge step backwards, which was frustrating after two years of an intense English curriculum).
