[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm.  I mean, I don't think you will get a more advanced curriculum than at Basis unless you go private ... my kid is also in 7th there and is killing it (99% GPA for GP1) - but certainly doesn't complain about it being too easy (probably puts in 1-1.5 hours of homework a night). Have you looked at the materials and think they are easy?  From what I have observed they are pretty hard core/legit - e.g., the physics problems are no joke.

My kid is pretty happy this year - but acknowledges that s/he is in a great element with very few/no rowdy/misbehaving kids (s/he notes that the language class is not as good/fun b/c indeed some of the rowdier/poor performers happen to have chosen that language). Your son must have gotten a bad element draw - bummer (that was my greatest fear before the year began - my kid had a terrible element in 5th and really dreaded class b/c of the disruptive kids).[/quote]

Yeah, he is totally in the trouble making element, that is making it rough.
Homework is done before he gets home from school. I think it looks legit...the sciences are not my schtick, I say it looks interesting, but he rolls his eyes and says "so easy" [/quote]

I have a kid in the 5th grade who is in a rowdy element -- to the point that the 5th grade dean sent a note to all the parents of that element to let them that she was aware of the behaviors and was taking steps to get the element to settle down. My kid is now reporting that the element is much better behaved now. Agree with the poster who said to talk to the dean.[/quote]

Will give it a shot, thanks for the suggestion! [/quote]
