[quote=Anonymous]NP. OK, that all sounds good. More evidence that the current HOS has made positive changes. Do you think that she likely to stay on, at least for next year? My question is BASIS generally a happy place for middle school students who aren't math gifted or super organized? The program sounds brutal, without much respect for the individual (e.g. quirky kids whose families who can and will supplement a lot at home, mainly for fun). I think of a friend removed her kid for a private school abroad after several years at BASIS. He was a high flier there from the get go, particularly for math. She says he's a lot happier at his new school, and better behaved, with playing fields for sports, fresh air during the day, a modern languages program where he can study a language he's been learning since a young age at an appropriately advanced level. BASIS forced him to choose between studying a new language, or taking the language he knows at a basic level. [/quote]
