[quote=Anonymous]The students coming from public school often struggle due to the work load. They tell me they either had no homework and minimal homework in MS so 3+ hrs of it can be quite a shock. Most adjust but it's a lot if you aren't used to it. The expectations are also higher. They aren't used to detentions for violating the rules. They aren't used to late penalties and no retakes. They are bright kids but I can't imagine stepping into a school like mine after cruising though an easy MS experience (most of them tell me it was easy). The students who attended MS here are used to all of these things so 9th grade is just more of the same. We've had 1-2 transfer schools by this point.[/quote]
