[quote=Anonymous]Our kid went from APS to private for high school, and yes it was an adjustment, but I hear that from parents who stuck it out with APS too. The problem is that the APS middle schools don’t give much homework and don’t do a great job getting the kids ready for high school. And high school today is 100% a grind, especially in competitive urban areas. That said, if your kid really wants to go to a SLAC, then he needs to get used to the homework. I went to a SLAC and it was a ton more reading assignments and papers than my friends who went to larger state schools. SLAC classes are generally smaller so it’s not as easy to hide in the back row if you haven’t done the reading. [/quote]
