[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In terms of plenty of free time, Holton doesn’t do weekend homework. Yes girls will do homework and projects over the weekend to make the week better. They also intentionally focus on girls well being through seminar, school days off, and parent education. I think those who do well are curious interested and driven academically, but also have other interests like sports, music, dance, and other creative arts. Holton cultivates well rounded girls who can (and do) take a break and have fun. There’s parent education around the mental health of girls so we don’t push them past their point. I think any girl who struggles with procrastination in general but falls in love with Holton, their motivation will be high to work hard and succeed. Holton is more about community than competition.

Is this sarcasm? Holton definitely assigns tons of weekend homework and it bas nothing to do with procrastination. Holton does talk a lot about reducing stress, but does little in the way of reducing it. The last weekend was supposed to be homework free which just bottle necks homework/tests/presentations to Tuesday. Anyone not wanting to stay up all night Monday would have to do some of it on the weekend. [/quote]
