Calvary Chapel Academy

Holly: love the excellent Christian education!!!!

We like the atmosphere and surroundings of the school.
We do have a problem with the amount of work put upon the children and the time it takes.  It seems they have little instruction in the class and that the kids have to do on own with parents help and then  there is a quiz and test.  We don't feel that the kids are getting enough of calss help to understand the material given and learn.  It seems they are just memorizing the material and moving on  and being rushed through quick to another unit/chapter.  We as parents have spoken to teachers and Mr. Sanchez and are told they are going to get together and review this.  To many test are given in the same day and to hard for the kids to study for 3 tests and do other class work given.  On headmaster it is to give all homework given but it seems the children are coming home with other work not on HeadMaster and it might say study for test but does ot state when test is?  Yes, the children should know but we as parents should be able to look and make sure our children are following through.  The children need down time and family time and this is not happening in this 4-5 weeks so far.  We have had at least 4-5 hours of homework a night  on several nights and the children are simply exausted and not getting enough family time or rest.  In the parent hand book it states it would be 80-120 min. of homework not that for each class per night!  I hope this will be evaluated soon!!!!
Thank you for your time...
