[quote=Anonymous]I taught there for a decade and have taught at a variety of east coast privates - my NCS students are the only ones I even remember, for the most part they are dedicated, smart, hardworking students. The pressure cooker came from a few impossible classes (9th grade physics back in the day) where it was impossible to get an A and getting tutored, putting in hours at conference period, didn’t move the needle much… maybe a B to a B+ This plus the rigor for all humanities with an extremely high level of writing expected along with major weekly reading assignments it can be a lot for even strong students. I’ve heard standards are a bit lower than the 2000-2010 period now a days and the teachers are expected to be a bit more flexible. In the early 2000s the teachers were not flexible. At some point a rule was put in place that if a student had 3 tests in a day, they could reschedule one. The outrage this caused among the faculty! It was a different time. [/quote]
