[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is very stressed about it While I get that there is value in testing like this, it feels too much for 6th grade[/quote] I think it's a good experience to feel that stress and then take the test and see how it all goes. It teaches kids not to run away from stress but to push through it. It also teaches them to prepare. Everything I've ever done that really mattered involved the chance to prepare, stress and nerves, the chance to run away, and then perseverance. Being prepared and then doing something well is what leads to accomplishments. That said, I know BASIS is more stressful for some kids than others. Parents have to make the call whether or not it's worth it for their kids. My kid is fine. [/quote]
