[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sad to hear…but isn’t that what your family signed up for?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry, OP.  Mine is being excluded and ignored.[/quote]

Oh no - by old friends?[/quote]

Yes.  They have found a cooler crowd to hang with.  The girls in this class are so cliquey and try so desperately to be cool, and kids like mine -- who are kind and smart and decidedly NOT cool -- are left out.  It's toxic.[/quote]

Same here.

And DC is questioning her class choices and wondering if she can handle them. Also almost to 4 to 5 hours of homework a night  along with being on a varsity sport team and no time to be a kid or have fun. it’s so sad to watch.[/quote][/quote]

NP. I’m sure they did not “sign up” for that. No one thinks their kid will have 4 hrs of homework. The school needs to frame shift dramatically.

No, the school does not need to frame shift.  I'm assuming the student is signed up for a boatload of honors and AP courses.  She is getting 4 hours of homework a night because that is what those courses require and or the student can't get the work done for such a rigorous set of courses in a shorter time frame.  Parents should drop her down into "regular" level courses for at least 2, maybe 3 classes.  Nothing wrong with that.  I'm not being a jerk.  My own child dropped from honors to regular physics junior year and dropped out of another AP into an honors course senior year.  Parents  cannot have their students signed up for super hard courses and then complain it's too hard or too time consuming. [/quote]

What??No private school is enrolling freshman in AP classes. Many don’t even have them anymore. [/quote]

You clearly don't know about all the private schools in the area.[/quote]

Please enlighten me. Which private school allows freshman to take AP classes?[/quote]

+2[/quote]

St Anselm's.  Not sure if that's what PP meant, but it's the only one I know. [/quote]
