[quote=Anonymous]A friend’s kid was doing OK overall at BASIS but just couldn’t hack the math. Not great at math + test anxiety + downward spiral of lacking self-belief. Parent reached out to the school and I was actually shocked by the amount of support provided given what you hear on this forum. Teacher essentially provided hours of free tutoring weekly. Went so far as to give the kid a mock test — which kid passed by the skin of her teeth — and lied to kid (with parents knowing) that score was 10 points higher to try to increase confidence. Honestly could not believe how much this teacher seemed to care about one of the worst students in her class. Kid passed comp solidly but not spectacularly and toughed out BASiS for middle school. Now at Wilson and much happier, but parents attribute a lot of kid’s ability to get comfortable Bs in math to that teacher.[/quote]
