[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would definitely send him to HB. (Current Yorktown parent who will be sending my youngest to Private and not Yorktown).[/quote]

My kid is doing great at YHS because of the structure.  I would be afraid they would take advantage of the freedom of HB.[/quote]

One of my kids attended HB and completely abused the lack of structure and literally almost never went to class and the school both never told us and did absolutely nothing about it. I don’t blame the school, because that’s the philosophy and we went in knowing it, but people need to recognize that it’s not a panacea. [/quote]

My HB high schooler reports having a TON of free time.  Even the school activities, like town hall, or the various fun activity days they hold, are apparently optional.  No one seems to hold the students accountable for going to any of these things - in fitting with the philosophy of the school.  I think my kids wanders around Rosslyn to McDonalds and other places with friends during all this free time. I think the time would be better used studying, but what do I know?  I think the point is teaching them intrinsic motivation and responsibility.  We'll see if it works![/quote]
