[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have yet to meet a parent/kid at Basis in person whose child has so little homework a night-lot virtually though. As an FYI, we know families in 5th, 6th and 7th grade, and have an honor roll  student in 5th.  And pp who said their kid has a 97/98 average and is in 90's club-that would get you distinguished honor roll, not 90's club. No CHILD I know in or out of Basis can do all 30 Saxon math problems in 15 minutes, just numbering the pages and writing the problems down take half that time. Again, having 20 minutes of homework a night in an accellerated program with 8 subjects and 30 math problems is impossible. The reading of choice required each week alone is more than that.[/quote]

Actually, the Distinguished Honor Roll is only for the top 5% of the class. And if you make the Distinguished Honor Roll you also make the 90's club.

My DC always makes the 90's club. Only homework DC does at home is algebra, and that takes about 60 mins, because DC writes slow.[/quote]

PP here - 97-98% won't guarantee you distinguished honor roll, DC has been on distinguished honor roll a few times but not always.

It takes longer than 30 minutes because DC does the problems, writing down the problem and showing all work, then goes through and checks the answers, redoing and correcting any that were wrong, and then DC looks up solutions for any that were still stumpers - and often there's one or two that were more tricky or involved.  A minute a problem isn't going to cut it no matter how you slice it.[/quote]
