[quote=Anonymous]So you're admitting, there isn't a better option.

And you tell me, what sacrifices are they making - what was it that they were supposed to be doing instead, and are missing out on?  The kids at BASIS will have already been exposed to world history since 5th grade - And in a way that beats having the same old disorganized, unstructured and substance-lacking (and often wrong) fluff about the pilgrims and the axe that chopped down the cherry tree repeated year after year as many schools have been doing.  The "traditional" way is the reason why American kids have far less understanding of world history and geography than their peers in Europe and Asia do.

BTW, doing the math, spreading 2 years out over 4 years is half the cram per year (if there are such units of measure) ;^)   So, if you are worried about BASIS kids getting stressed out or burned out, consider that it works out to be twice as much intensity and pressure for the non-BASIS kids at those prestigious suburban schools.[/quote]
