[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but the counselor isn’t a powerful player in the not so subtle BASIS game to weed out academic stragglers, starting after 6th grade comp results come out. If admins and teachers want your kid gone, the counselor can’t necessarily do much to help.[/quote]

What PP means is, their kid couldn't hack it academically and when they failed their comps and were told they needed to repeat the grade (which they are always able to do) because Basis won't socially promote, PP got mad, moved their kid and started blaming everyone but themselves. Apparently it is the counselor's fault their kid couldn't hack it. Now, even removed from that experience, PP can't acknowledge their parenting failure because the knew damn well, as do all Basis families, that there is a comp exam every year starting in 6th.

Psycho babble nonsense, PP. I posted about the counselor's role.

My kid made 90s Club from the get go and passed comps before moving on to a different HS. A few of classmates failed comps, were instructed to repeat a grade to stay, then left. These kids weren't treated well by admins before their families bailed, which I considered shameful. Admins want no more than around 50% of the MS students back for HS. That's the BASIS franchise's model wherever they operate.[/quote]
