[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We would have moved DC to private for middle school. We would have hired a tutor sooner. We would have cut way back on sports in high school.[/quote] Why private for middle school? Smaller class sizes?[/quote] To learn rigorous study skills. For a very bright kid, MS was too easy and required no effort, almost no homework, not enough feed back, very little studying for tests, too many second chances. Old habits die hard, and by the time DC caught on to the higher expectations in this private HS, the GPA was toast. Hopefully the old "colleges love to see a progress pattern" theme is true. As a student, DC is transformed, but I can see how it would have been better if we had switched sooner.[/quote] Sadly, the “colleges love to see progress” did not help my son who graduated from a DC private with a 3.5. It was rough. Good luck to you. Be sure to apply to true safeties - those with a 75% acceptance rate. [/quote]
