[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I know is that my child is coming home every single day telling me that she absolutely loves it and is so happy that she switched schools and then goes on an on about everything that they learned that day.  Then she tells us when she needs to go in early to make up a test or something, and we are the only ones groaning, not her.  From her reports, I think tons of kids would hate it, but I am so happy that she has the opportunity to be there. [/quote]

Generally the same here for my 5th grader. I'm seeing a lot more engagement and learning than last year, and he's coming home talking about Latin declensions and science and ancient history. With the exception of a couple of weeks when he had multiple assignments during a few days, the homework has not been an issue at all. He is also proud of being a lot more independent. He has a few times worried about grades, which is annoying to me, so we've had the "Don't worry about grades, worry about doing the work and learning" conversation. (His grades are fine - in the middle of the distribution.)[/quote]

This is encouraging to hear. We’re probably going to remain at our current school vice taking the spot, but it sounds as if they have been taking in the feedback. [/quote]
