* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The student did as much work as they wanted to. The teachers were not pushing the sstudents to do the assigned reading. There were no critia sheets for assignments. There was a brief discription of what needed to be completed for the assignment and the student had to decide what they needed to do in order to get an A. |
