[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, Burke has also been a mixed bag in terms of teaching. Some teachers are great but my child does not like many of them. The biggest issues are total lack of rigor (except math, which is leveled). It’s a school that seems great for kids who need a lot of support. The kids who do not (no learning issues etc) seem to do minimal work and coast along. [b]For example, my kid seems to finish all her homework in school or within an hour at home. [/b]But it takes some kids *hours* to do the same work. Are you the OP, with a kid in MS? I have an 8th grader at gds, which I'm certain will be rigorous in high school. But this year, he rarely has more than an hour of homework -- which is just fine with me. More I think would be inappropriate. It doesn’t seem worth the price tag to me. DD I think would be fine at JRHS. Was also curious about college outcomes as another consideration. [/quote][/quote]
