[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had three families with kids at W schools call me to ask about the private my kid attends. All 3 said they were looking to switch because the pressure on kids to take so many AP classes wasn’t healthy in their opinion. AP classes can be fine but only in moderation and some area schools have done a terrible job counseling moderation to the kids.[/quote]

Great job, private schools. You are now officially marketing to families both that you are *more* rigorous than public schools (if that’s what the family wants) and *less* rigorous than public schools (if that’s what the family wants). All things to all people![/quote]

Because heaven forbid that they treat children as people and not widgets on a factory line! The English departments at the Big 3 are much more rigorous than any of the local public schools and can't really be compared.  The history/social science departments offer a mix of classes with some that are no different than a college course (that could never get approved by a local school board) and some that are pretty basic. The advanced tracks in math and first-year bio/chem/physics are comparable to TJ  while the Big 3 take account of the poet who will never get past algebra 2. [/quote]
