[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a bit more than horseplay otherwise the head of school didn't have to step in.  But the problems are apparently not pervasive.  I agree with poster about choosy parents having to put up with this for a while and maybe Basis will turn some of the disruptive kids around more effectively than another school with less autonomy.[/quote]

I have been intrigued by Basis (which is why I read this board), but opted not to take a chance on it this year.  I do find it interesting that the every single one of the kids who left my child's class for Basis were those who had the greatest discipline issues.  I think that this is one of the issues with first year charters -- that there is a huge range of reasons that people send their children to an unestablished school, one of the biggest is that parents are running away from something, not necessarily choosing the school for what it offers or to what they think it is a good fit.  I don't envy any first year school this problem and how the school handles it will speak volumes to the success of the school, especially in retaining those children in its inaugural classes.
