[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To every Basis parent:  read this article and let go of the thread, but think about the Dean

OP your story reminded me of a report from 1980 that someone posted on DCUM a while ago, Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work: http://cuip.uchicago.edu/~cac/nlu/fnd504/anyon.htm Read the section on "working class school". Apparently not a lot has changed since 1980.

Give me a break already. :roll: How do you propose the school deal with behavior issues which are greatly improved compared to the first 2 years? I know myself and many parents expressed huge concern about behaviors in the first 2 years and feel it has improved tremendously this year. Even then BASIS still provided my kid a great education and even better this year since disruptions are almost nil this year. I am also very glad to see the new tardy procedures even though my kid had to go to lunch with the Dean since I suspect that there were many wanderers in the past 2 years who would also vandalize school property and whatnot which does not seem to be the case this year. Punctuality is a virtue you know.[b] Ms. P was also very helpful in giving us ideas on how to make sure our kid gets to class in time.[/b] It does help to reach out to school staff if your kid is having troubles.[/quote]

Why does a school administrator have to give you ideas to make sure your child gets to school on time?  It is fairly easy - get up as early as necessary to get to school on time.  If your child is having difficulty getting up early, do your job as a parent and make them to to bed earlier.  What has happened to good old common sense?[/quote]

It is really not good to assume. We have never been late for school. He had some difficulty getting to the next class a few times and we asked Ms. P for some suggestions. Problem solved. :roll:

I am all for the tardy policies since tardiness was rampant in the school as I wager it is in just about every DCPS school. I believe the tardy issues have improved dramatically at BASIS. I think all DCPS schools should have similar policies.[/quote]
