[quote=Anonymous]Basis parent here-at first I was worried that there was so info Basis was covering that it would be drill and kill, but I have to admit I was wrong-they do find "outside the box" ways to understand and think about things in every subject (not sure about math to be honest) my 5th grader is taking this semester. Allowing students to draw/design, perform plays and create cartoons are some of the ways this happens. Since DC is only in 5th, I am not sure how much critical thinking/analysis we will see this year, but I do think it is beyond just drill and kill, though the work is pretty straightforward, and there is a LOT my kid needs to know in order to do well there, no doubt. There are many things I am still not sure about at Basis, but it is definitely more than just a drill and kill school. I have no idea about DC Prep and KIPP, as my kid went to a JKLM school before Basis.[/quote]
