[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree.  IMO a couple of the PPs are being very unconstructive by venting here and/ or 'warning' others about vague issues and supposed retribution. There are better, more direct ways to raise concerns - with the school administration of the management organization who are the only ones who can change anything. I've done it more than once, respectfully, and my kids grades didn't change and the treatment of my family was fine.

If the retaliatory things being alleged (grade manipulation, unfounded calls to CFS) are happening those parents should leave. Vote with your feet. It sends a strong signal to others. Most important staying is bad for the kids. Period.

As for the supposed cell phone cheating - BASIS has a policy that cell phones are to be kept in lockers during the day. Do you want kids frisked daily to make sure they aren't on their person? Before tests? Just before a trip to the bathroom on a test day? Or maybe they shouldn't be allowed to go to the bathroom during a test? Any of the above will raise howls of civil rights violations and a culture of distrus within days on this board.

I guess some people are so used to the idea of being frisked for guns that being frisked for cell phone must sound like a joke.

People in here (generally the same two or three posters) confuse rumors with facts and events that happen to one or two kids with school trends. It is our job as parents to be involved and vigilant, but this "culture of conspiracy" is really annoying. [/quote]
