[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had one child go through Pine Crest CES and one through CCES CES and there was a significant difference in the amount of homework.  Pine Crest had the expectation of a lot of homework, particularly for 4th graders which I did not like at all.  It felt like my child was being punished for needing accelerated learning.  I would not have minded if it was just the projects, but a lot of busy work too.  My second child just finished at CCES and it was significantly less homework.  The quality of the programming was equivalent, but all projects were done at school.  In addition, math and science were integrated into the special curriculum there, so it felt more holistic.  Overall, for both kids the program was a good experience and despite all of the logistical challenges of getting them there, worth it.  One down side, though, is that they make great friends and then all leave after 2 years.

My child feels like the workload is a punishment too. It’s work, work, work. When the rest of the grades are participating in fun activities the CES kids are still working every time. It’s disheartening to see smart 9/10/11 year old disengage from school because of the excessive volume.[/quote]
