[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my greatest concerns in evaluating schools is that a number of them appear to give too much HW (which means that the teachers are not teaching the material properly at school).   [/quote]

DD is at NCS in their Lower School.  She seems to have little homework and she is doing fine. I think that it depends on the child. If a girl is relatively organized she can get much of it done in school. There are some classes that are taught at a slighly more advanced level  :) but they tend to mix them with slower classes for balance.

Overheard in carpool (where the kids in the back seat somehow do not realize you are listening): "I have so much homework!"  "Me too."  "Well, actually, I did most of it during flex time in school today."  "Yeah, me too - I finished all of it."  "But it was a lot, wasn't it?"  "Sure was."

So the bark may be worse than the bite, or the child may have many other activities to juggle.  We like when it's tough (although homework quantity does not equate with rigor) and sometimes wish it were more so.[/quote]
