[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daughter at SR has had tons of new classmates from public over the past few years, it is a noticeable increase. They seem surprised that middle school girls are expected to do more than an hour of homework per night even to get Bs and that they are all reading full books as a class even in lower school. Maybe the publics have gone downhill.[/quote] Equity measures have lowered standards at public schools in general with fairly broad support in this area, to the surprise of families that want more rigor. However, a number of public schools (especially at the high school level) still offer very challenging courses that require a lot of work. There is a disconnect since many public middle school students are not prepared for the amount of work and challenge at their public high schools (for classes higher than the gen ed level). [/quote]
