[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is amazing the amount of attention that a school so small and new draws in this forum. Apparently, we have many altruistic former parents trying to help out others. What a beautiful thing to see. Or perhaps there are sour grapes from parents frustrated with missing As in their kids’ report cards. Who knows?

I am a parent from a current student at the school and I can confirm teaching is indeed very rigorous. The school does not accommodate or move to please. However, it treats kids with respect and care while pushing them to excel. The competitive environment may be excessive for some and nobody should be taken beyond her/his breaking point. However, parents themselves often amplify the pressure cooker environment rather than welcome struggle as a means to grow. Some parents will tell their kids that B is failure, but the point is the grit, effort and commitment put in. Facing discomfort and overcoming difficult situations prepare for life. You can not get that if you are not challenged. And Basis will challenge you and your kid. [/quote]

This parent gets it. BASIS has some very serious and troubling problems - but the education your child will get is not one of them and the outcomes they will experience likely aren't either. [/quote]
