[quote=Anonymous]I agree, 9:13, but the the other side to it is that the poster who keeps bringing this stuff up keeps making it clear that they expect BASIS to cure all the worlds ills, end world hunger and achieve global peace - or if it can't, that BASIS should be shut down.

There's a clear anti-BASIS sentiment in those posts, and as much as it can be shown that the things this poster is attacking BASIS for are things that are not unique to BASIS, that should serve to mitigate the anti-BASIS fear-uncertainty-doubt campaign this poster is running.

For what it's worth, I think BASIS does do a lot that would help toward helping students at home - from the STARS tutoring which helped get the kids up to speed and acclimated over the summer, to the classroom and overall system, where they place a lot of emphasis on organizational skills and procedure, as well as emphasis on building their independence toward managing the work and understanding the procedures, which can help to bridge the gaps in parental help at home.   If the student goes home with a clear understanding of what is expected of him, what it is he is to do, and how he is to do it, and what he needs to bring/prepare for the next day, he will not need as much input or help from his parents with it and becomes more self-reliant.  BASIS does far more in areas like this than public schools do.[/quote]
