[quote=Anonymous]If you've had a kid at Latin who's bright, but not terribly hard-working or much of a self-starter, you know the drill. Latin is loosey-goosey about discipline. Kids can goof off, not work hard, still get socially promoted with mediocre grades and effort. Teachers can't teach to the top with so many middling and marginal students, and no academic tracking outside math in middle school. The strongest students are often somewhat homeschooled by ambitious parents, who sign them up for enrichment, help with homework, and essentially teach outside the curriculum. Some of the strongest students are so motivated that they teach themselves, e.g. via Khan Academy. Hence, the best Latin students are better than the school, much better.[/quote]
