Not that poster, but here is what I hear from some families:

*Disrupted family schedules because of the bus.
*Tension between students and parents over the workload at home.
*Unfairness to other kids in the family who lose parental attention or have to adjust their schedule.[/quote]

NP here.  I have not heard that in my 15 years as a magnet teacher.  Most parents are aware of the time committment and they consider themselves a partner in their child's education. Most students are happy within the program, even if some have to work harder to catch up with some of their peers.  The truth is that these children are able to do the work and they thrive also because of a very like-ability cohort.

We turned down CES due to the amount of endless projects.   Yes, this is going much deeper into the material, but often projects seem like more work from parents than for students.   Honestly, is very clear when parents have done most of the work.

Our daughter is capable of doing the work, but she is already extremely busy with a multitude of language, music, and dance programs.   She has at least 10 hours of work from her language program each week already.[/quote]

That's excellent! You chose what works best for your family and child.   Your comment proves my point. Those who cannot put in the time do not choose the magnet program. Similar to you, magnet parents choose what works best for their family and children too. Many students do not even apply for the program because it would interfere with some other priority.  You should absolutely do what works for you. And you should let others do what works for them.  [/quote]
