[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s what I don’t understand and can hope someone can help me out. What does the grueling 3-4 hours of homework so for these kids? If the college outcomes at a less rigorous school like Maret look nearly identical or GDS or Sidwell, what is the point of it all? It doesn’t seem like the high schools better prepare these kids for college. So what gives? [/quote] For our kid, the goal isn't college placement or outcome (and they are still this way in college search). They chose their school over Maret because they felt like there were more kids in class that were serious about academics and were fully prepared for class. Maret had more of a mix (which, I personally like). This is not to diss Maret or any other school, as DC felt they could succeed in any of the area schools and get the academic challenge at all of them. But for them, they liked the more serious nature at the school they chose.[/quote]
