Behavioral problems at Basis?

[Anonymous]

I think things have improved a lot there over the past 3 years. What grade is your child in?

Assume this was all reported and documented and is being addressed by the school. You should be concerned and I hope you are getting an appropriate response from the school administration.

Hang on, grabbing popcorn!

OP here- Wow that went of the rails pretty quickly....Anyway kids in 5th grade and the admin addressed the incident right away. I was just wondering if this was part of a bigger problem is all.

I don't know whether to be amused or horrified that the responding poster upthread didn't realize how off-track he or she was.

I would not worry too much since it has improved drastically. if this a kid in your kid's class, you can insist that your kid be moved to another class. We did that 2 years ago and it has gotten better every year.

Thank you for encapsulating why "diversity" is over-rated. Some of us prioritize safety and a high-quality education over and above it.

Alabama misses you

Never been there. Your snark is not an argument.

Neither is your close-minded desire for insularity. You should try visiting. There are a lot of people who agree with you. Look for the flag with an X on it.

Nice try. What you call a "close-minded" (sic) "desire for insularity" I call a desire for my children to be safe and free from disruption in the classroom. I'm not a racist for wanting my children to be safe and get a good education. You, however, are the worst and most dangerous sort of idiot for criticizing anyone for desiring the best for their children.

No, you're a racist because you think that safe = monochromatic skin.

+100.

I have two kids at BASIS (boy/girl) and we have not found behavior to be a problem lately. It used to be an issue, but not so much any more.

OP here. Good to know. I honestly don't know how anyone would have the time to be mischevious/antagonistic in their busy day there.

My 5th grade DC says that school is actually kind of boring because nobody in the class is disruptive or inappropriate like in their old school.

Cool. Just heard from a 5th grader who was describing an older kid breaking into his locker and another kid (high schooler is the description this BASIS student gave) threatening him. Sounds like a warm and loving place!

Total BS-They're not even on the same floor and they have cameras-that kind if thing is not tolerated-and I will point out that u like most MS in the area, you DC doesn't have to walk through a metal detector and have their bag searched every morning upon arrival!

It's racist for PP to expect her child to be safe in a public school? If PP's kid was gay, you'd be defending her.

it's racist to assume that the black kids are going to be bad, and that the only way to keep kids safe is to keep the in a school with more white kids. DUH.

FWIW - my 6th grader had two kids who caused major disruptions in her class last year, and both were white. The school had a good action plan in place to deal with the disruptions, and I haven't heard any complaints this year so far.
