[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If a child isn't doing well at BASIS then they are probably functioning at a grade level lower than the level of proficiency that they should have.[/quote]
Not necessarily.  Some other reasons why not doing well at Basis: never got used to being organized, never learned the process of studying for a test, or even, got stuck in one of the classes that are disruptive, parents not knowing the best way to help.  These are biggies for us, but I am certainly not about to give up before the first accordion folder falls apart.[/quote]

Good for you.  But, as a parent, at some point you need to help instill organizational skills, focus, self-discipline, time management, study habits and the rest.  If not by middle school, then when?  Bad habits only get more ingrained and harder to overcome, the older kids get.  Those are life skills that will help throughout one's entire life - in the short term reducing frustration and lack of free time, and in the long term boosting income, productivity and offering a whole new realm of opportunity in life.[/quote]
