[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve had three kids go through NB and the transition to HS is very rough. They each took 1-2 AP classes freshman year, which had significant homework. Plus Algebra 2 is a really hard class. Plus it’s the first time they take a real science class with labs and things to memorize — stuff that isn’t just intuitive BS. And if they are in 3rd or 4th year of a language, those are when it starts to get really hard (after the first 2 years being basically a cake walk). So that’s 4-5 classes with significant work right there. My youngest keeps complaining about how all her 8tj grade classes are too easy and I’m like “oh, just you wait, grasshopper.” I think one of the hardest adjustments is not just the homework level, but learning how to actually study. I don’t think my kids ever actually studied for a test in MS.[/quote] +1 agree. I'm a PP who stated that MS does a piss poor job of preparing kids for rigors of AP classes in HS.[/quote]
