[quote=Anonymous]OP - Re: the organization club - I asked my daughter and your child can get help with organization during ZAP time which happens at lunch.  I  believe its offered for all of the teams.  I would also check in with the guidance counselors for more support around organization and they should be able to give some helpful tips.  Also how are your child's friends handling the assignments?

And just to set the record straight 2-3 hours of home work per night is not the norm at Deal and kids are not teaching themselves.  I think the expectation is that the child is managing all of their work and is proactive about getting help.  Also don't forget that your child can retake tests! Those usually make up a big percentage of the grade. When my daughter is unhappy with a grade on a test - she schedules time to retake it.  She also takes advantage of any extra credit assignments to keep her grades up.  In one of the weekly Deal Bulletins they included an article about the importance of allowing kids to re-do tests and assignments.
