[quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting discussion - I live in Tucson, my son has attended Basis since he was in 6th grade. I've seen how they DO actually bring kids up to speed. It works but some kids (and some parents) discover it's not what they want for their kids. It's just an option - like a charter school for hotels and hospitality is an option. The education kids get at Basis is phenomenal. Unlike schools that do have a selection process, it is open to all and there is a lot of diversity to the student body. Probably what the students do all have in common is a parent who values and takes an active interest in the student's education.

For gifted kids who would be bored silly and wasting away in most public schools, it is a godsend. It is a dream-come-true for those kids.

Personally, I think as BASIS moves forward into new locations, they should have as their motto: You will be amazed. ... because you WILL be amazed.

(and no - they don't require parents to drink any kool-aid to become true believers like this.) :)[/quote]
