[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know anything about Whitman, but my daughter is in CAP. She has about two hours of homework every night. She has straight As, but does need to work at it (she got As easily through middle school so I think it was a bit of a shock for her in 9th grade).

Maybe this is just her friends, but it seems like the kids that like CAP the most are quirky, proud of being smart, language and drama oriented kids. Lots of theater kids, into quirky fashion, love reading and talking about books and other language related topics, and social political debating.

Just some thoughts, though not necessarily particular to your question! [/quote]

Thanks a lot for sharing!  My son is currently at Eastern and he complains about the amount of homework at Eastern.  He struggles to get A's in English.  But he wants to go to CAP because his friends are going.  That is what I worry about.  Homework might keep him away from sports and other activities, and he might still not be able to get good grades, plus the commute....then why bother?  In addition, the qualities you described about your daughter and her friends are awesome.  But that is not quite who my child is.  He is not drama or language-oriented at all....  My main "concern" about CAP is that it might be time-consuming (commute, homework) and he might still not do that well from a GPA perspective.....[/quote]

I haven’t read this whole thread but I have a senior DS who is in CAP and went to Eastern.  He has had much better grades in CAP.  Actually he had straight As in his CAP classes. This was not at all the case at Eastern. IMHO CAP is a better program than Eastern.  Better teachers and better run.  Eastern is still much better than home middle schools though. We are big fans of CAP. [/quote]
