[quote=Anonymous][quote] NP here. I agree with your point. Charter schools address the fundamental truth that no one size fits all when it comes to education. We need everything from montessori to military academies. My problem with BASIS is the tendency of some to hype it as a solution to all of America's education woes whereas in fact it is an extreme niche product. I'd even go so far to wager that it is a good fit only for a relatively small percentage of kids who attend (or, more exactly, a small percentage of parents who are convinced that an accelerated AP/standardized test model is the best option for their kids), and that the rest just survive as best they can or, eventually, leave. [/quote] Quote of the day, you rock PP. I'm an Ivy League grad who probably won't choose BASIS for my bright, hard-working, science and math-minded but very athletic child (at least as long as they lack a gym). [/quote]
