[quote=Anonymous]We have 3 kids in private for LS, considering possibility of magnet for HS for 2 of them but this is many years ahead.  One thing we see now with the 2nd grader is that he already has an awareness of how to budget his time to make sure he isn't scrambling to get homework done.  Now, at most he has 20 min of homework (aside from reading) a night, and it's only 2 nights a week that he has this much.  Nonetheless, recently when we were planning a time to go bike shopping, he was adamant that we couldn't go on a Tuesday or Wednesday because those were the days he has to do his spelling sentences (all 3 of them!).  He works on his book reports and memorizes his poems well ahead of time.  In short, the school is really helping him learn how to budget his time.  Because of this, we feel that he'll be well positioned to handle the demands of HS, public, private, magnet, wherever, because he is learning these skills.  Now, he might learn these skills also in public - I really have no idea and don't mean to suggest otherwise - but I love seeing him learn them now.  (Personally, I did private for HS and spent the first year and a half trying to catch up to everyone else's study habits, etc.)  [/quote]
