[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]some of you are doing practically doing your kid's homework-- these are 10 and 11 year olds.   You are crazy! [/quote]

My husband basically devoted his entire life for the first few months so that our sixth grader could get it, make it, and relax after being on honor roll a few times.  It was a lot of his life, and we all felt neglected, but it was totally worth it.  The child was completely unprepared but had unlimited potential and just needed the help and the confidence to go solo.  Now we have no worries, except for our rising 5th grader who will undoubtedly need just as much help and hand holding.  DC schools do not prepare our kids for BASIS, and I would hate to see them lower their standards because of it.  Instead, some parents have to rise to the challenge.  Well worth it, and time limited.

Not like the parents staying up til 2:30am doing science projects with their HiGH SCHOOL kids at TJ.  And yes, it happens.  Someone asked about it at a BASIS forum before the school even started.[/quote]
