[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP who doesn’t care about SAT scores!

I toured with my 8th grader Saturday also. The school is beautiful and it’s clear the teachers and principal care about and expect a lot from the students. I have no doubt that my child would get a good education there.

But I guess I wonder about the joy aspect of things. It seems like there’s so much emphasis on academic classes that there is no time left for electives. They offer some sports, but I don’t have a particularly sporty kid. There’s a list of clubs, but it’s hard to know how active they are.

A few people have mentioned lots of rules and homework to me. I just wonder what that actually means. What are the rules that bother your kid? What does homework look like, during a typical night/week?

I got the tour from the English teacher. She seemed really engaging. She said three hours of homework per night is typically the norm, but that the teachers are rethinking the amount of hw in light of the pandemic given the importance of socializing for kids. [/quote]
