[quote=Anonymous]No, everybody who criticizes BASIS on DCUM isn't an angry troll. There's a kernel of truth in much of the criticism posted here, helping explain why the current HOS changed so much. BASIS middle school students traditionally spend a great deal of time sitting in chairs listening to teachers blab on. A largely passive learning experience (read too much outdated pedagogy) with a kill and drill element drives some of us away a year or two in. If you've had children at BASIS for some years, you know that there isn't just a drop-off between 8th and 9th grades, there's a drop-off between 5th and 6th grades. Some families of strong students seek more inspiring middle school pastures. It's not just students who "can't hack it" who leave before HS.[/quote]
