[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Pine Crest is excellent - the homework load was fine in 4th and has been quite large in 5th. Having said that the 5th grade teachers (and the 4th for that matter) are great. The 4th grade teachers are rigid, but good. They are not mean. [/quote]
I agree that Pine Crest is great overall. The perspective about homework is interesting. I have a 5th grader this year at PC. I felt that the adjustment in 4th grade was a little tougher in terms of homework, especially with the Native American project. I thought the project was really terrific and DC loved it but it was a lot of work for a 9 year old to research a tribe and come up with a creative fiction story about it. 
This year, I've felt that the homework load wasn't too bad. The big poetry project was comparable in the time investment to the Native American project but DC was better equipped to handle it this year. Otherwise, I felt the math and other homework was about the same as DC would get in the home school.

I have a 5th grade at Oak View and they did not do a poetry project.  Last quarter they wrote an adventure story. [/quote]
