[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does HBW get all good policies, why don’t they spread to other high schools?[/quote]

Why do you assume HB gets all the good policies? I guarantee you that there are things you don't know about HB that you would not like. [/quote]

Well, I listed the ones that I wish our school had, please feel free to list the policies you think are terrible and I’ll tell you what I think of them[/quote]

No driver's ed
fewer AP classes
AP classes taught together with regular class
no intensified classes other than math
no counselors, so limited guidance/help/knowledge re college apps
very limited guidance/support for exec functioning (probably better if the kid has an IEP)
less homework than traditional schools (this is ok with me but you already said you want more)[/quote]

You forgot that, in the past few years, many teachers in the AP classes have been replaced by teachers who are not as qualified or experienced. It's part of the reason why report card grades are inflated compared to the large number of people who fail the AP tests along with those that only get a 3. Ask to see the score distribution if you're curious.[/quote]
