[quote=Anonymous]I went to one of the meetings. I was very impressed by all speakers, except the bumbling Mary Riddall. Honestly why did they pick her? BASIS is for the motivated kid from ALL WARDS who strives for more than minimum established standards. They were comparing themselves to TJ, people ! Of course, it will translate into lots of work for the kids. And the parents. There are two sets of comprehensive exams per year, one is required to pass one of them to move to the next grade. I was educated outside the US, and the BASIS setup with the exams, the long hours, homework, comprehensive journal reminded me very much of my homeland's school system. That said, it is not for everybody ![/quote]
