[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Correct. It's what parents want. That's one reason why Fairfax has better schools.[/quote] So a school board listening to its parents is failing? Have any real metrics dropped, like college placement?[/quote] Yes[/quote] Certainly not at WL where college placement metrics remain strong. But people on this forum complain that college placement at Yorktown should be much better. [/quote] Yorktown was a pioneer in the no/reduced homework movement a decade ago. Not sure if that correlates with college placement or not. But the shifting pedagogy there was parent driven. Over the past couple decades Yorktown has shifted into a more sports oriented culture (not purposefully). The school does place emphasis on the social and emotional well being of its students while still supporting academic rigor. How homework factors into that is still debatable. [/quote]
