[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever happened to challenging yourself? I went to a less-than-challenging public middle school, but loved to read. I routinely read for a couple hours on a weekday afternoon in middle school. I also played instruments (including in a garage band) and sports, and acted in plays. I'm a firm believer in middle school kids being allowed to explore interests in both structured and unstructured ways in the afternoons. We bailed on BASIS partly because we didn't care for how programmed our kid was there. [/quote] Yeah, I know the world is a different place now, but I wasn't remotely challenged in middle school and went to a top SLAC where I had no problem doing the work. I read everything in the library for the fun of it, played an instrument, and did have the opportunity to go to a challenging summer program. But there was no challenge whatsoever in regular school.[/quote]
