[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all the post. My understanding is if a child fails a class, they will repeat that class over again. I feel there is nothing wrong with that. If you fail a college class, don't you have to take it again?[/quote]

Exactly :mrgreen: [/quote]

In college there is no problem-- but what will happen iF lots of kids get held back?  Will basis have a separate class for them? Or will the classes at basis sqEw older?  So that average age kids are out numbered by older kids?[/quote]

Seems like an unlikely scenario, PP.  I could see a family allowing a child to repeat one year at BASIS, if the child came from an underperforming school and it appeared that the additional year would enable the child to get back on track.  However, allowing the child to repeat the same grade multiple times or repeat multiple grades once seems very unlikely.

Eventually, the family will come to the realization that failing repeatedly at BASIS is worse than attending their IB middle school -- even if the IB middle school is underperforming.
