Bogota - School Report Question and Answers

Homework assigned (quality, quantity):

There is a lot of homework in the high school, which is fine. - Mar 2015


For the most part, homework was reasonable and appropriate. As always, teachers vary and some can give too much and some too little. Being a teacher myself (not at CGB), I know that homework is a balancing act and I haven't always agreed with what I've seen my son bring home but I feel CGB is no different than all of the other great schools my kids have attended--there are always great teachers and not-as-great teachers--but CGB attracts well-qualified teachers and does a good job listening to parents when they have concerns. - Feb 2015


A - The quality of the homework assigned was excellent. CGB really nailed it on the concept of creating critical thinkers just on the homework assignments alone. Sometimes I felt like the quantity was excessive, but as I said earlier, our child was very well-prepared for school in the U.S. - Jan 2015


B.Plenty if in AP courses; my daughters have considered some useful and some busywork. - May 2012


A: Lots of homework, but good quality. - Sep 2010
