[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=;  these things happen in DCPS? The school day is longer than DCPS, but is used very efficiently.[/quote]

Our 4th and 5th graders get 5 hours of science and 5 of the arts/culture specials per week all year long. Mine would love the 4 extra hours of science, though, but only if replaced all writing requirements ;)[/quote]

BASIS is for you.  Writing is pretty nonexistent in the lower grades at BASIS.  We are supplementing.  Apparently on DCUM if you are not thrilled at BASIS you are the parent of a struggling student who does not want to work hard.  In my case, wrong on both points.  Not struggling - doing very well - and my child works hard.  To me that is about the best benefit that BASIS has; they are training him to do a lot of homework nightly. Although I do wish there was an INDIVIDUAL science project at some point like the rest of the decent public and private middle schools.   A lot of parents of GOOD students who do not care for BASIS will not post here.  They do not like the attacks by the poster who appears to quote the BASIS literature and marketing talking points constantly when they are trying to provide a balanced viewpoint.  Some of these parents will quietly leave for Deal.  [b]Others will stay for other reasons until high school.[/b]  It is a decent school, but it does not live up to all this hype.[/quote]

Perhaps because they are not in bounds for Deal?[/quote]
