We[b] 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.[/b]

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]

Please stop trolling. You say you turned down the program so how do you have any idea what the  projects are all about?  You also have no idea that parents do the work.  Just based on your response it seems like a case of sour grapes.   You sound bitter.

DP. This would be sour grapes: "My daughter didn't get into the CES but we wouldn't have wanted her to go anyway, we don't like the program."

This is not sour grapes: "My daughter didn't get into the CES but we turned it down, we don't like the program."

The sour grapes fable:

[i]A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice, and the Fox's mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.

The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again and again he tried, but in vain.

Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust.

"What a fool I am," he said. "Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for."

And off he walked very, very scornfully.

There are many who pretend to despise and belittle that which is beyond their reach.[/i][/quote]
