[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What type of statics does Basis have of their graduates?  What schools - colleges were they accepted at and their successes.  Where are they now?  Schools is not only to pass academic subjects but how well they have functioned in society.  School tests is only one measurement of one's ability or capability.  What is education and what does it look like?  If a person is able regurgitate information does that mean they are smart?

Question that needs to be asked is does learning look like?  How do you measure what learning is versus memorization?

How successful are these kids that attended Basis?

There many millionaires as well as very successful business people that did not attend colleges or a rigorous school such Basis.[/quote]

Where have BASIS grads been accepted?  Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, CalTech, et cetera.  Pretty much any top university in the nation.   http://basisschools.org/college-acceptances

And, it's not at all about "regurgitation".  They build upon foundational knowledge with critical thinking and other components.  And as for millionaires and successful business people - most of them simply never even had the opportunity to attend schools like BASIS.  But had they, they would likely have been even more empowered than they already are.[/quote]
