[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come on, anybody who's been at BASIS for 6, 7, 8 years knows what's being alluded to here. BASIS picks it horses early on, the math stars, kids with a good shot of cracking Ivies, MIT etc. Other students aren't treated as well over time. Their parents aren't inclined to rock the boat. That's the reality.[/quote]

Yes, it is the only way to create a gifted school within the system.  The school can’t screen beforehand.  It is up to the parents to determine if it will be a good fit for the kid.   If it isn’t, it isn’t.  But of course this should be communicated clearly and humanely as early as possible.  In the end though, if the parents can’t see that it is a bad fit for the kid, the kid suffers longer.   This is a school for a certain type of kid.  Please just accept that and stop complaining that your kid would do better in a different system and get that kid in a different system asap. Fully neglectful to keep a kid there if it isn’t the right fit, and unfortunately there are a lot of parents who refuse to accept their responsibility to choose. [/quote]
