[quote=Anonymous]Seems like there are a lot of speculative conclusions being drawn about philosophies, but not really anything based on reality.  "Basis this" "Basis that" "Starry eyed Basis parents this" and so on.

The reality is that all parties have a role - the school and teachers need to provide a robust and solid curriculum and support, the students need to work hard, the parents need to help and support the students.

There is no free ride.  Basis will do their part.  But everyone else has to do their part as well.  If there are students who don't have a strong work ethic, they won't do well, whether at Basis or anywhere else.  If there are parents who aren't supportive of their children, their children will have an uphill battle.

That basic reality applies to any school - but if schools instead just throw the basic aims of high quality education out the window in order to accommodate students who won't work hard and to accommodate parents who won't support the basic social contract of helping their children toward a better future, then nobody's doing their part.[/quote]
