[quote=Anonymous]Wow, I have to say, these responses are SHOCKING! I am looking to apply my daughter for K at a private school and the parental responses here are the reasons I am turned off by the prospect of a "big three". These are CHILDREN we are talking about- what, exactly, are you trying to prepare them for with 4 hours of homework a night and then a repeatedly discouraging experience in school? School should teach kids, of ALL ages, to love learning, to be intellectually curious, to problem solve and to work hard, but what the OP is describing here is extremely sad and disheartening to me. For the record, I was a lifer at a big three school and did not feel this level of intense pressure- perhaps others did. I was not in all advanced classes, but I went to a great college, was extremely prepared and have a great career. It absolutely does NOT have to be this way, and it's the parents who buy into this level of intensity for their 16 year olds that make it so. Sheesh.[/quote]
