[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel the management team above the school level considers the McLean campus to be a loss, a disaster or even a joke. They don’t want to take responsibility or touch McLean with a 10 ft pole. That’s why we never hear from them. Maybe they show up once a year to say everything will be alright (it never is) or they send an email message intended to be reassuring (but is instead patronizing). There will be no improvement at the school level, because BINS and Spring seem to have given up on this campus.[/quote]

All I can figure is that their operating losses are smaller than the cost of eating the lease outright over its remaining life, so running the school is cheaper than folding it.  Nothing else makes much sense.

Of course, no one knows the lease terms except the secret insiders with clearance, so parents have no way of judging management's likely future steps.[/quote]

Why would parents have any information about the lease terms of the school? This schools is an independent school that is in now way linked to a parent board.  I find that most of the parents that complain about Basis are usually the ones expecting the school to be like other privates in the area. Management has no obligation to inform you of their lease terms.You want to know if the schools plans to be open in the coming years, ask. I have, it's not a secret conspiracy.  You dont like the answer or don't trust it, leave.  It will be ok ,for you and the school. [/quote]

That's funny.  BIM competes with the privates in the area but won't meet the same standards.  Parents are supposed to ask abut important issues, which they do every year.  The school lies to them over and over and over, but really, this time, it will be different, so you can believe them.

Yes, the people who don't like that do leave.  But that doesn't stop the school being held accountable for its actions and statements in public, like any other school or business. That's what is happening here.

Scrutiny is tough sometimes.[/quote]

It's not a matter of being held to the same standards but of being managed in the same way.  There is a difference between a for-profit and nonprofit school ran by a board. The school sells educations and does a great job offering that as far as Im concerned and other parents are concerned.  You can say the school lies all you want but what that really means is that you are not hearing what you want. There is no big conspiracy or big plan to make the precious NVA snowflakes suffer.
