[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The LATEST a BASIS student can take algebra is 7th grade. Brent parents, are you listening? [/quote] Algebra in 7th grade is ridiculous. Maybe for a few math whiz kids, OK, but across the board is abusive. When do BASIS kids have time to relax? We need more quality alternatives than BASIS, Latin, or language immersion, clearly.[/quote] MANY of the BASIS 7th graders who started with the school in 5th grade are now taking Algebra II, and are proud and happy to do so. Rrgardless of class level, all BASIS students have approximately 120 math homework problems a week. The premium put on relaxation is interesting -- especially when I look around and see kids who are on travel sports teams and have mutiple practices every week and games involving hours of travel time. I guess we all have our priorities, but I have no doubt that it is more likely for my DC to go to a good univerity than be drafted/recuited to play pro ball. [/quote]
