[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Socially, my DD is happy. At a "Top 20" school, from a W school in MCPS. Academically, she is feeling more challenge than expected. Two years of MCPS virtual instruction wasn't enough preparation for what she is experiencing. However, she says she is feeling more encouraged post-midterms.[/quote]

My DD is feeling this too as s STEM major.  Virtual Chemistry really did not prepare her for college chemistry and lab. [/quote]

This is totally My D too. She's a STEM major at a T20 and is woefully unprepared for the caliber of several of her courses thanks to 1.5 years of all virtual instruction. She is extremely happy socially, but the academic adjustment for my top kid at a top school has been rough. [/quote]

How do you know this is due to virtual instruction?  The college transition has always been major, and some first years struggle.

It is one reason that I am against pushing kids to the absolute highest rank school they can squeeze into. Big fish, small pond, has its advantages.[/quote]
