[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is in Basis and she is struggling a lot to keep up with the amounts of work assigned. She is often up late trying to get everything done. She is in sixth and didn’t have any issues last year at Basis. I know homework is supposed to ramp up slightly between years but this seems dramatically different. I also am aware that virtual learning might be part of the issue but she is having a rough time. She is supposed to start a sport she really enjoys in the spring and I worry that it isn’t possible with this much amount of work. For what it worth, her grades are high and she is doing well on tests and quizzes but the actual day to day works is overwhelming us. Any insight from other Basis parents? [/quote]

Hmm.  I have not found this to be the case with my 6th grader OTHER than the difficulty figuring out the assignments/what tabs/where to turn in, etc. And that part definitely takes a lot of effort to figure out an efficient/streamlined system. So that could be the problem - you may want to assist her in determining the best/most streamlined way to figure out (1) what is due; (2) when; (3) how to turn in.  Those three things take much more time in DL than they would in a normal classroom setting. The other tip, like all us adults have to figure out how to do, is to not procrastinate.  Get xx assignment done NOW in your downtime, even if not due until 11:59 pm the next day. This second tip relates to tip number one, in that procrastination during DL makes the assignment even harder b/c you have the added step of figuring out where the heck it is, buried in all the posts, different tabs, etc.  This is my take as an adult trying to navigate the Teams system (over my kid's shoulder) :) [/quote]
