[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am fine with hard work and high expectations but how effective is 5 or more hours of homework? surely there's a point of diminishing returns[/quote]
This x1,000,000.

And there's a lot of evidence to back that up.[/quote]
My child is a BASIS student.  Today she managed to finish her homework after school and then hang out at Teaism with some friends.  This evening she went to the circus at the Verizon Center.  She got to bed at 9:45.  She will get to school early tomorrow for academic support in one of her classes.  She has discovered that the secret to doing well is to stay on top of her assignments, to be focused and efficient with her homework, and to frequently go in and ask for help from the teachers.  She usually makes the 90s club - which is good but not the top academic level.  It (the BASIS experience) is working well for her.  She is able to do all the things that 12-year-old want to do like sleepovers, weekend trips with mom, "chillaxing" with friends on weekdays and weekends, and watching crappy TV like Say Yes to the Dress.  She participates in a couple of extra curricular activities.  She's generally pretty happy with BASIS and takes it all in stride.[/quote]
