[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, many parents include happy and well-rounded in their top 100 criteria for schools, and no amount of money to Niche could land BIM on that list.

I’m not surprised with the stats, I’m surprised that people want to send their kids to a test factory in an office building owned by PE firm that is a de facto extension of the Chinese government. [/quote]

Many schools are test factories, so I don’t entirely see that as problematic.
“Extension of the Chinese government” is also a long tail issue that realistically doesn’t make its way into the classroom. It’s weird that people always argue this about Basis.
More concerning to me as a parent would be my kid going to school in an actual boring office building in an actual office park. How depressing. It’s not a campus, it’s literally an office. So odd.
I also have great pause about any school owned by a PE firm. PE firms exist to squeeze $, not to invest in innovation. That’s not exactly the kind of business model that screams “I’m investing in my kid’s future.”[/quote]
