[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the kid. One thing to think about is how s/he reacts to sky's the limit assignments. And whether s/he coasts when assignments are open-ended. This is a defining aspect of GDS, IMO. There are kids who thrive under that regime, kids who slack, kids who obsess, and kids who don't even notice. I think GDS has a solid floor -- no one gets out of there uneducated! -- and no ceiling. Which means that how stressful and how challenging it is depends a lot on a kid's personality and motivation. [/quote] In what sense are assignments at GDS HS open ended? My kids went there, and the assignments that I was aware of were clearly defined and had fixed due dates, just like assignments anywhere else, so while I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm not sure what you mean or what you may have noticed that I missed.
