[quote=Anonymous]I/m interested in Basis b/c i think that a traditional,academically focused curriculum will work for my hyper focused ADD child who is super nerdy and nonathletic butttt i think a hw load of 2 hours every day ( so doing hw from 5-7) in the evening is a bit much unless that includes reading for pleasure which has to be tracked and turned in in elementary school anyways. When are they supposed to play piano/swim/play chess etc. . or anything else? Is it truly 2 hours of math problems and stuff or is it inclusive of reading, working on projects, solving math problems, looking up stuff on internet, learning spelling/ writing responses etc??  what is the experience truly like? Can anyone give me any input who's child is currently doing 5th/6th grade there. Are the kids allowed time to have other interests like taking a screen writing class or volunteering or playing a sport for a few hours a week when in 6-8 grades? I know that some of the long hw hours in 5th might also be filling in gaps in their knowledge.  I love the location of BASIS so i'd love for it to work for our family.

Thanks[/quote]
