Teachers give the students a lot of homework because they think that the students have an extra day to do homework since the students only go into the teacher's class every other day, but the reality is that the students have to use that'extra day' to do homework from the previous day of classes so the students frequently get overwhelmed and become discouraged.

I have 2 children in FCS, only school they have ever attended. They have done well academically, only complaint is the lack of support for extracirricular activities other than sports.

As long as the student can handle aggressive classes, things will go well. If there are problems with reading, comprehension or other learning disabilities, there is little support. Testing is very basic and there is no guidance to help parents/families find alternatives. In fact, there is no mention
