[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how basis did it, which seems like the opposite of hardy.  They had assignments for each class each day but they were due on Sunday.   The teachers did not try to reinvent the wheel, instead they relied a lot on good already existing videos that were actually done well.  Tests and quizzes were as frequent as ever.  Teachers were constantly responsive to email and provided a ton of feedback.  They each had one weekly optional live q and a sessions.  The school had lots of extracurricular ways of connecting.  I hope it is done exactly the same in the fall, no interest in physical attendance.[/quote]

I know this model would work wonders for some students, which is great! But it’s the opposite of what would work for my student.  Limited live-action teaching by teachers, same tests and quizzes as frequent as ever!?  Who is responsible for actually engaging students, because — for my child — teaching requires give and take among teacher and students.

One optional q and a session a week: my student would not even know where to begin to ask questions; “uummm coukd you please explain all those periodic table videos?  From the beginning.  Or:  start from the beginning — I didn’t quite get those Khan Academy videos on graphing y= mx + b.

That said, I’m glad this model worked for Basis families!![/quote]
