[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP who has a child up until 2 am: has your child gone in to talk to teachers about strategies for studying and doing homework? What do they tell him when he says he was up until 2 am? My BASIS student has found his teachers incredibly accessible and helpful. He stays after school to meet with them regularly. The other day he saw a teacher after school for math. It wasn't his own teacher, but she was more than happy to help him and taught the concept in a slightly different way than his own teacher. He now gets it. [/quote]

Completely agree.  The advantage of BASIS is that what is required is clear, both in terms of what you have to master in each class to succeed and in terms of how each class is graded.  Homework is not, according to the syllabi of most classes, a large percentage of your child's grade, and it is usually only checked for completion not for accuracy.  If your kid is staying up that late he needs help - from teachers, from you, because something is seriously wrong. Ask other parents in his section how they are surviving. Call for an SST meeting if necessary.  Get on the boosters group and ask for help.  My dc's teachers taught them how to use quizlet to study, and so much more.  If your child is struggling academically, there are so many avenues to seek help.  You need to use them.  Good luck. [/quote]
