You see - that is the problem.  You assume that anyone trying to get an objective take on the school is unhinged.  In fact, it's the "you're with us or against us" tenor of the boosters that provoke scepticism and curiosity from the outside.  I don't hate the school - my family isn't even there.  But, I can't help finding it interesting how hostile the boosters are to fair criticism.  Everything is always someone else's fault to you.  Don't you see how this only promotes suspicion?

I do not know any booster who does not have constructive criticism of the school. Stating falsehoods about the school as the angry poster has on multiple occasions done is not fair criticism and therefore the push back. I think that poster needs to truly take the time to find out the facts since that poster is mistaken numerous times. [/quote]

do pray tell, who is that poster?

Because half the time subsequent posters seem to be attacking you all, not the mysterious poster, and you are too dumb to realize it.

And what facts are "falsehoods" that have been stated on "multiple occasions?"  The list serve again that not all of us are privy to?

I am bored, and it does seem like the test anxiety issue was not raised by the parents about their particular student as an issue in why they left Basis.  Reading comprehension, which appears to be a serious problem.

Fact about BASIS: to have a 4.0 you have to test well.

Fact about the post: the poster said other students were irritated about the placement tests, especially because they did not end up in Precalculus, but that this student was annoyed about having to retake World History because he did not take the AP.

No mention of that specific student having test anxiety or hating tests, we do not even know where s/he was placed in math, just that other students were upset.  And the student decided not to take the AP - well, maybe the instruction in history had not been excellent even though the student excelled.  They did then have to do well on a Comp for AP World however, hence the irritation.  No indication that test anxiety was or ever will be an issue for that lucky SWW child.  So go on, continue.  You definitely made that parent shut up.............[/quote]
