[quote=Anonymous]WE pulled my kids out of public school after 8th grade. It was teaching to the lowest denominator in terms of 'equity' which became more glaring once Covid hit. They are in a private HS with deadlines (gasp), pop quizzes, missing assignments get a "0", you can go for help--and learn what you got wrong--but that won't bump you grade up to an "A", much of the writing is now done in class--by pen and paper so not to abuse chatgpt, etc. Honor code about that as well. Courses aren't just 'teach to the test' and tests aren't all multiple choice. Lots of writing. Lots of showing your work in math, etc.., lots of assignments that push past cursory knowledge. Parents also aren't in the mix. The kids are made to be self-sufficient from Day 1. They have a schedule a lot like colleges---exam weeks, midterms, etc. It sucks to pay, but they are going to be so much better prepared for college.[/quote]
