I find it unbelievable that you know all the details about how 13 students actually performed at BASIS in math seeing as that is info protected by law. Also, are you aware that BASIS offers Pre-calculus as a one or two year option so it is possible that if these 13 students exist as you say that they may not have finished Pre-calculus.

Frankly, you seem very unhappy with BASIS and truly it might be better for you and your kid to find another school. I know I would not hesitate to move my kid to another school if I was mostly unhappy with it as you seem to be. in fact, I have moved my kid in the past from schools that I was unhappy with. Thankfully, we are happy with BASIS and plan on staying all the way through. I also know plenty of other parents who feel the same way.[/quote]

[b]Exactly!  Why can't people remember that if they're unhappy with BASIS, it's all their own fault?  That, or of course the fact that their child is an incompetent failure?  Obviously it has nothing to do with BASIS itself!  Why it's an organization that the PCSB found so clean, it denied them the request to expand.  Probably just protecting their pristine reputation, of course.

BASIS: if you don't love us?  It's because you suck.[/b][/quote]

I think you have trouble seeing the facts about BASIS clearly and about what other posters are saying. No where did I say that students or families who are unhappy with BASIS are failures or incompetents. I had to move my kid from schools that we were unhappy with in the past and not because we were failures or incompetent. Every person and every kid is unique and has different like, dislikes, and abilities. I pulled my kid out a great montessori school in the past for example since it was a bad fit for my kid. My kid was not a failure and that montessori school was not bad at all. You must think that every kid fits into a one size fits all cookie cutter mold. I do not think so at all and I am glad that there are a ton of different choices for kids in DC to help meet their needs.

I also suspect you are the same poster who has made multiple posts and threads that espouse an angry and anxious flight of usually incorrect ideas about BASIS. If you are that unhinged about BASIS then why subject yourself to having your kid stay at BASIS?  Seriously, I would never subject myself or my kid to a school that I was unhappy with ever. Does this mean I am saying you and yours are failures? No, it does not since, again, we all have different needs, wants, likes, and dislikes. I seriously hope you find a school that you can be happy with.
