This is fine but still seems like a real disconnect between an "advanced" math and science curriculum and these colleges.[/quote]

Exactly.

What I have read here and other places about BASIS indicates that they do a lot of drill and kill type homework, students are investing quite about of time in homework and studying for "advanced" classes. So these poor kids are litterally waste hours of their young years on non productive academic work that results in no better or worse results then if they attend a local school. What's the attraction for parents? Training your kid for middle management? Paper pusher with little advancement prospects? What lesson does this really impart? Toil at busy work to get mediocre results? If nothing else, this list should be a wake up call to any parent who has a child there who is struggling or struggling under the weight of the work. It doesn't appear it's going to be worth it so why keep doing it. Why continue to be a booster for a school curriculum and school that doesn't meet the hype? [/quote]
