[quote=Anonymous]Sure, 5th grade at BASIS is fine, but the journey can turn into such a tedious, stressful and unpleasant ride later on that most MS students bail before HS. Even kids who can handle the workload without trouble suffer from lack of fresh air, exercise, a library, a stage, solid offerings in the arts, much in the way of real sports teams, a serious music program, a real student government or leadership/ethics/character training. The school stresses testing and ticking off academic boxes to an absurd degree, meaning there is precious little respect for individual learning styles and preferences. The farther you go, the sillier it all gets, with juniors expected to have completed their AP classes/tests, before essentially goofing off senior year doing "independent research." [/quote]
