Just stop. You are an embarrassment to the entire Navy community.

Also is Carson Gen Ed different than AAP?
It was a HUGE adjustment for my kid moving from principal-placed AAP at Crossfield to Honors classes in Carson. The classes are just so much more work and child was not prepared. Went from having little to no hw every night to a couple of hours every night. On average 30 minutes per class, per day. Sometimes way more and sometimes a little bit less. Child figured it out and was responsible, but can see how if would be overwhelming for some kids.
My child was in AAP at Navy and I felt going from there to Carson AAP was an easy transition, homework wise. I agree Navy is a very homework heavy school. I guess it really was a blessing in disguise, as my middle schooler was used to homework. My middle schooler’s workload in 7th was far than it ever was in 6th AAP at Navy. Now in 8th it’s a bit more, but manageable as my child has the advisory period in school to get things done.

What about transfer a younger child to Navy because an older sibling already in AAP in NAVY? Anyone has done that?
100% depends on the capacity at the school. For a while, the school was over capacity and wouldn't accommodate any sibling transfers
