[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Voice of reason here - it depends on your kid. My middle school boy absolutely does not spend hours of time doing homework and neither did his now hs brother. Maybe some kids do, but not mine. Both are happy and stimulated and the curriculum is developmentally appropriate. It's a rigorous school but not suffocating and the college placements are great. [/quote] +1 Another parent of a middle school boy. I can't speak to the high school, but my son does not feel "pressure-cooked" in middle school. In our experience, the school is very balanced - stimulating and challenging, but never overwhelming. There is a real joy in learning and a sense that while hard work is important, fun and relaxation are also essential ingredients for a healthy, happy kid. That's why we chose Maret over several other schools. [/quote]
