[quote=Anonymous]Disagree. The lower retention from 6th to 7th grade is attributable to a critical mass of families having had enough of BASIS’ very real shortcomings two years in. Sixth grade just isn’t a happy experience for a good many of the kids, weak and strong students alike. My main complaint in 6th grade was weak classroom management on the part of several rookie teachers. Their rowdy classes were a real drag. One teacher even cried in front of a class, begging them to settle down. When admins denied the problems our eyes were opened to what kind of management to expect for up to six more years. We had the dough to leave, so we did. We weren’t alone. [/quote]
