[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The entire thread makes me want to home school my kid.  If I were made to go through this crap, I'd be a truant, too. Kids aren't allowed to have fun anymore.[/quote]

Maybe it's a point of pride for Basis kids but it always strikes me that Basis kids unabashedly volunteer "I hate school". As a parent of two academically thriving boys, who have never uttered such words, I have a hard time understanding how parents can think that hating school can be a good thing. Don't get me wrong, it's not like they always love everything about school and they sure occasionally complain about work. But hearing "oh, how I hate school" is just a whole different level of dislike. It's not healthy and it shouldn't be considered normal.

There are schools that make it a mission for kids to "also have fun". Inquire about and look for that.[/quote]

I wish you could talk to my 6th grade DD. She loves BASIS. She's challenged academically and has a great group of really sweet friends. [/quote]
