[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recognize the PBES CES program is going to look different given the lottery, etc. But what do people think about their recent experiences with PBES CES?

The 4th grade class is very hard. Even a strong student will have to do 1-2 hours of homework a night. It's not unusual for kids to drop out.[/quote]

That’s out of date info, yes? Can someone in the current 4th  grade class confirm if this is still the case? I understood that was the experience a couple of years ago.[/quote]

This was the experience the year they had two classes, because naturally, there were kids invited who were probably not quite up to the level of CES work. Not an insult to those very bright kids at all, just a reality of expanding the program without lessening the standards/work. Cleary it didn't go well, because they never did it again.

That said, we were part of this group, and I do not recall anyone dropping out aside from moving. There were many tedious meetings with parents complaining and getting upset though. I felt so bad for the teachers because they were really unnecessarily and unfairly roasted the whole year. [/quote]
