[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wonderful, BASIS made it happen. I'm left wondering at what cost. I'm thinking of my introverted sibling, the one who struggled with depression and anxiety throughout college (Ivy League school), after a high-pressure high school experience. If a kid isn't very happy for years on end growing up, though short of depressed, is that the best we can do for our UMC children? When I visited BASIS recently, the building seemed worse than I expected. I found myself asking, where's the library? The stage. The basketball court on the roof that you see in some urban schools without green space. The windows in the cafeteria. The colors on most of the walls. The space alone seems designed to test the enthusiasm of even the brightest sparks. Maybe the HW load alone is manageable. But add the bad building and maybe not.[/quote] Then don’t enroll your child. No one is forcing you to. Not every school is going to suit every child or every family. [/quote]
