[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BASIS parents fight all the time - on this board, to the detriment of BASIS 
BASIS has discipline issues as well - 
for example, the girl's bathroom on the first floor is constantly trashed - no holes, but they have taken the towel thing off the wall etc 
dismantled some things that I would not have expected and require some strength - and this is the girls!

BASIS is the epitome of unethical institution. They use comp exams to boost the grades of certain students and totally plummet the grades of others -- especially at the high school level[/quote]

And what about the unethical DCPS practice of social promotion??? And fraud? [/quote]

[b]Fraud is synonymous with BASIS.  This is not an opinion.[/quote][/b]

I have no dog in this fight, but when you say things like this, you just sound moronic.[/quote]

So you have never had a kid at BASIS.  It may sound moronic to you, but I completely agree with the statement about fraud, and all kinds of tricks, both unethical and illegal, going on at BASIS.  Most with the knowledge, consent, and even blessing of the current and former Head of Schools, and some of the administration that has remained unchanged in spots or stripes.

Teachers leave over this.  Good teachers.  Some teachers who even just transfer to other BASIS schools.  As do ethical "learning specialists" (a special ed thing, a problem that still has not been solved and they don't want to). But they don't set foot in another BASIS school.

I would call it fraud rather than cream skimming, because they decide who is the cream and it is not based on academic potential or prowess.

who stuck with the school for too many years instead of listening to my child, 
and now feels guilty about it[/quote]
