[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll counter that we chose our home school over Eastern bc of the high homework load and social dynamics. I think it depends a lot on your kid: Will they require constant nudging about homework? Will seeing a lot of fights and chaos in the hallways heighten their anxiety? The answer to both of these questions was a resounding yes for our child. We also wanted to be able to walk to school and have neighborhood friends. Our feeling was that our kid has plenty of time for a rigorous workload later in life. Eleven years old seemed like a time to build friendships, extracurriculars, and confidence. Also academics, of course, but not at the expense of the rest.[/quote] The answer to both those questions is no for our chid but we also wanted a more relaxed MS experience without the hassle of figuring out transportation every day and more time in the mornings and afternoons so we made the same decision as PP. For HS DD did decide on a magnet.[/quote]
