The more I read, the more troubling the equation becomes.  Ideally, graduates emerge as the staunchest advocates of an education brand.  Listen to the Stanford guy/gal.  It sounds like Basis is much too slick, greedy and pigheaded to take responsibility for losing students, no the onus of failure is all on the kids, even the bright and hard-working students who are turfed out.  The rub is that kids don't need to master algebra by 7th grade to crack 5-star colleges.

^^Oh they can stay can they, to what end?

I'm a Harvard grad who took 9 AP classes and tests, and algebra in the 8th grade in public school.  Parents and taxpayers shoudn't tolerate Basis' nonsense.

Honestly, I would not put much stock in one person's opinion. If you go to greatschools.com site you can find plenty of reviews of Basis which are mostly positive. With any school, one can find detractors and supporters of said school as well as everything in between. Children do not fit into cookie cutters and thank goodness there are choices like Basis and a plethora of others here in DC. I see no problem with Basis and my child is thriving there, even in Algebra 1[b] before[/b] 7th grade!![/quote]
