[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gds parent of younger kids here. What are they doing for the 3-4 hours? Literally assignments that are due the next day or just studying concepts to stay ahead? We’ve seen nothing like this to date so wondering what’s ahead. Thanks [/quote]

High school is whole different ball game.  It can easily take 3 hours to complete daily assignments, work on long-term projects, and study for tests/quizzes.[/quote]

But also, as several posters have noted, kids are more likely to have free periods in HS, during which they can catch up on schoolwork, decompress, or whatever. So it is very challenging, but it is manageable. And at GDS, they don’t let kids load up with a schedule they cannot handle. [/quote]

You can have three hours in one class and a midterm to study for in another. Plus there is weekend and holiday work. There is a difference between being able to handle it and it actually being beneficial. These kids are in high school and would not be able to work a job that required the same time commitment. It is a waste of time. Why do you think so many kids hate their high school years at these schools? [/quote]
