Behavioral problems at Basis?

[Anonymous]

My kid has already had one run in with another student that included physical violence towards him. Anyone else concerned or have a history with this? Is this the norm in MS as opposed to elementary?

I would not say it is the norm. I think it can and does happen at middle and high schools where so many kids come from such different and diverse backgrounds.

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.

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

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.

You really think fights only happen in school with people from different diverse backgrounds?
Some of you really need to get a grip on reality.

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.

Wow. This thread went off the rails really fast.

You're ability to understand is underwhelming.

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

I couldn't give less of a damn about skin. That's your hang-up. Mine is about merit. I have no interest in "diversity" over safety and achievement - and those can be of any color or creed.

That Escalated Quickly, I mean that really got out of hand.

I actually take issue with this itself (and not just the crazy response, which sounds like the noyes/brookland ms poster). Went to a white middle class middle and high school (no racial diversity and little economic diversity) where boy fighting was the norm.

Behavioral issues have improved over the last couple years at BASIS. I went to a big urban middle and high school and this kind of stuff happened, but the school should take responsibility to keep things under control. Please let school know. New admin seems very responsive.
