[quote=Anonymous]I have a 6th grader at Deal. DC has a decent amount of homework, but generally finishes the vast majority of it before leaving school (in the library or on team tutoring day). DC seems to have a good grasp of the material and really only asks me for help when they definitely don't understand something or with a major project. The homework was heavier at the beginning of the school year, but always seemed to be an appropriate amount. The work is by no means easy (I do review what they are doing often), but they have a good handle on it. Both DC's elementary school and the staff at Deal during the first month of the SY prepared them well in regard to managing time and seeking out help when needed. Of course, this is my experience with my child. I don't have any experience with BASIS, but I do have a friend who chose BASIS over Deal. She seems happy with it. I should note however, that she has a pretty studious kid. My DC on the other hand makes the principal's honor roll but still LOVES to socialize with friends from elementary school and the new ones that have been added since starting middle. Deal is just a better fit. I'm very happy with the school. The administration is beyond excellent (not an exaggeration).[/quote]
