[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We turned down CES due to the amount of endless projects.[/b]   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]

Wow... you really failed your child.  There weren't endless projects and I never stepped in, even to check homework.  I did have awesome conversations with my kid, however, about what they were working on.  The teachers did a great job a getting the kids to manage their time.  Our kid had two after school activities that typically occurred 4-5 days a week.  Kid survived.  I think you're actually a troll, but if you really turned down the program for the reasons you posted, you really, really did your kid a disservice.  The CES program was life changing for my kid.  And we'd do it again 100 times out of 100.[/quote]

Not PP, but there are many paths to a happy and successful life. My child left competitive dance when it hit the 4x a week practices/ $1k a month mark because it was no longer worth all the sacrifices, despite the trophies. We were exhausted. She never saw her closest friends outside of school. She left just as her team was selected to perform as backup dancers for a hip hop star. DD went on to do athletics, acting, and journalism. Today, she works in the entertainment industry and is glad she got her foot in another door by HS. There are plenty of life changing experiences. BTW, none of the girls who stayed in her team through HS are dancing professionally today. [/quote]
