[quote=Anonymous]I can see how having an elementary school would make the middle school experience at BASIS much easier.  My kid had to make quite a big adjustment to legitimate homework and studying because our elementary school had no rigor at all.  I think having families get a sense of BASIS earlier (to better determine if the learning model is a good fit for their child) would really help to reduce the attrition later both because they can pull their kid sooner and still have other middle school options and because the kids who remain will be more prepared and struggle less to adapt to middle school.  BASIS doesn’t work for most people but only some people know and understand that early enough to avoid having a kid struggle through it.  I would love to see more students reach middle school at BASIS and see it as a place they know they will stay, at least for middle school.  I can understand having more choices and wanting different experiences for high school, even if a kid was excelling at BASIS.  That’s not meant to be a knock against the school at all.  [/quote]
