[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Burke has an executive skills course in their summer school; we were on the waiting list but never got in. What you describe in your original post is how I operated in college, and how my niece works in her private high school; she had a class that taught such methods -- I think similar to what Burke offers their students. I've had to teach my son the methods I used; his school has not yet taught or required it, and I don't think they will.[/quote]

My child took this course over the summer and found it helpful.  Burke also has dedicated learning support specialists that teach a study skills course (all 9th graders take it) and can meet with students individually for additional support.  I’m glad they offer this!  I think some study skills are different nowadays with the prevalence of technology.  I don’t see as much reliance on notes, flash cards, etc.[/quote]

They don’t have multiple specialists per division. When does your kid meet individually with said specialists? It’s sad schools still rely on technology despite what we know about screen time.  What happened to writing things down? So much research shows you remember like 85% more if you write it down. [/quote]
