[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - this 3 hours a night sounds really high.  Can others chime in - is this really the case for most kids?  Not the highly advanced kids (I am guessing BASIS is much easier for them).  I don't want to make my child miserable, and I want him to come home and also contribute to his family structure and chores he has around the house.  But I also don't want him to be left behind because he isn't outgoing enough to raise him hand in class so he gets left behind.  The base of knowledge needs to begin developing at a greatly clip, I would guess, and maybe BASIS provides that?  Even if it's a bit forced.

And do kids have time for any afterschool activities, like dance or music lessons?  [/quote]

BASIS parent here - our student has after-school activities just about every single day and has busy weekends with outside activities, and still manages to get school work done at a reasonable hour each night - and though shy and not super-competetive, has made honor roll and is doing well.  Sure, it was an adjustment from our previous school experiences, where there weren't as many expectations or workload, but it has been well worth it.  DC is thriving at BASIS, we are quite impressed with the content and learning that the school is providing.[/quote]
