[quote=Anonymous]Let me quote John Dewey “If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow. This is my feeling about BASIS. My child is doing quite well, but I feel the model and curriculum, which has not been modified since the first BASIS was established 14 years ago is shortchanging kids. A very good Algebra II student who has no difficulty with solving Saxon problems, my child was not able to tackle several Algebra I test problems given at another school, where criticial thinking has to be used to crack the problem, rather than simply applying a formula and solving it. When I think of a STEM school these days, I envision a school like the Bulldog Tech middle school in San Jose. [/quote]
