[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry to hear your child is having those problems. The focus on grades and testing is not a good fit for everyone, but I'll share my perspective: My child is generally academically unmotivated and does the least possible to get by. In our neighborhood middle school, that approach would have resulted in virtually no learning. (It's possible to learn there, but the student has to be motivated.) At Basis, the bare minimum means he has to somewhat pay attention in class and do a little bit of homework some nights - maybe a total of an hour a week. He even studied for comps a bit this year - maybe a total average of 10 minutes per class.[/quote]

Soon to be 5th grader at BASIS parent here. This is EXACTLY why we chose BASIS. Thank you for saying it out loud.  So many parents with kids at our terrible DCPS IB middle gloating that their kids are thriving and in the honor roll when they were barely scraping by in ES.  That just tells me that all you have to do to get an A is show up.  [/quote]
