[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have loved Basis so far, but as a parent I'm annoyed at the multitudes of emails that I'm getting from the teachers about pre-comps. They have seemingly made it my job to prepare my kid, which I will do of course -- but what I have liked about Basis up to now is that they teach student-based responsibility. One teacher is literally sending an email per day until pre-comps! It's taking the student out of the picture and putting it all on the parent.[/quote]

I think the teachers can't win on this one.

Some parents want the updates, some kids need parents to be on them about studying, and others do not. The feedback each year is divided. And, every year there are kids who are cruising along with As for a grading period, but who get a C on a pre-comp or comp. Parents start contacting teachers and admins saying they didn't know about the exams, or they didn't understand how much they counted, or they should have had more information to help their kid prepare, or that they just don't believe the score because it was inconsistent.
