[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be sure to read the threads on workload. People saying RMIB students do 4-5 hrs of HW per night. If your child loves math and physics it seems Blair would be the better choice. Sounds like kids are happier there than RM pressure cooker. [/quote] HW is usually less than 4-5 hours but "HW + studying" usually more than 4-5 hours per night (and weekends). RM is a pressure cooker but kids are surprisingly happy. We tried to pull our kid out (transfer to assigned home school) after 9th grade and she cried all weekend so she ended up staying. Looking back it was the right decision. [/quote] That sounds like a lot. Any idea if Blair SMAC is as intense? Went to the info meeting last night and asked a few of the kids who all said it was between 1-3 hours a night with 3 being rare except Junior year. Of course I did not think to ask them if they meant just HW or "HW + studying".[/quote]
