[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no dog in this fight but found it amusing to read the posts.

The non-BASIS parents ignore data, draw incorrect conclusions, or just make up facts.

The BASIS parents make reasonable argument supported by data.

If I were selecting a school for my kids just based on this thread, I would go with BASIS all the way.[/quote]

Lol. what data? [/quote]

There they go again...lol...nice try, sister...[/quote]

They didn't show any data based on the actual assertions made.  They created a strawman and are doubling down on their logical error: 
Some students from high-performing IB MS go to Basis
Therefore Basis is very popular with high-performing IB MS families[/quote]

No, the logical error was the opposite! Someone said Hardy, Deal, and Stuart Hobson families don’t go to BASIS in large numbers, it was pointed out that SH families do choose it in pretty large numbers, and then 16 pages later…[/quote]

The discussion was about strong IB middle schools. The assertion was that parents prefer a strong IB MS over Basis and that a lot of parents don’t like Basis and will increasingly choose EH over Basis.

The discussion was never about the actual numbers going from SH. [/quote]

No it wasn't. The words are on the page so stop gaslighting. That is what the poster who got their clock cleaned with data tried to pretend they said in response. Go look at the post. No one said (and you cannot find a post where anyone said):
[list]More kids go to BASIS than SH, Deal or Hardy[/list][list]Many kids don't choose or prefer their IB MS[/list]
What's funny is I am the person who originally corrected the mis-statement that BASIS isn't a school Deal, Hardy, SH kids select. But I have also been vocal on this thread about the very positive momentum at EH based on the data. Why must this be a zero sum game for so many of you? Is it so hard for you to hold two positive thoughts about two different schools in your heads at once? Is that why so many of you react to aggressively anytime anyone says something positive about BASIS? Because your brains operate on a zero sum game philosophy that interprets a positive comment about BASIS as a shot at your school?  [/quote]

So let me get this straight. What you believe you proved with your data is that some kids from Deal and Hardy choose Basis. Is that right?

[b]Can you provide a link where somebody claimed NO families from those schools choose Basis?[/b]

Because my actual claim is not that NO families choose it. It’s that MOST families  prefer a strong (or at least decent) IB MS over Basis, and many families affirmatively do not want Basis. As EH gets better this means more families will pick EH over Basis. (And TR and ITS.)

Do you have data or information about my actual point? [/quote]

No one claimed that was said. No one. Show me where anyone said that.[/quote]

Ok please state exactly what you believe the data says, and what the data disproves here. [/quote]
