[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nonsense that new admits would necessarily have “trouble catching up.” We left Basis for a suburban GT program with far more humanities rigor and equal rigor for math and science in 6th grade. BASIS parents tend to buy into the program’s exceptionalism hook line and sinker. Silly.[/quote] I realize this is going on a tangent, but I have thought a lot about whether I should accept our BASIS spot or not for our rising 5th grader. We have decided to enroll our child for many reasons. One of the reasons for doing so is that we are worried that our IB option, which is fine in normal years, will have a lot of kids with catching up to do in 5th and later years after the disaster that was this year (1.5 years of dumbed down school). I think this will be a real problem in a lot of neighborhood schools. I worry about this less so with BASIS.[/quote]
