[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP above is making a valid point that you guys don't want to deal with. BASIS DC is an ultra-conservative school academically built on a limited AP curriculum--they teach about half of the 32 AP subjects--run by admins chosen by franchise leaders in Arizona. The franchise runs off a hidebound formula for elite college admissions which is almost military in they way it's implemented. Deviate openly from the narrow BASIS AP success path and your family will no longer be welcome in high school. If the BASIS approach works for your family, fantastic. For example, if the kid wants to study an "obscure" or "exotic" language, like Japanese (AP language), Russian or Arabic, or to prep for Cambridge Islamic Studies or Marine Biology exams, BASIS admins will discourage the kid. [/quote] Why would they care what your kid is doing outside the school? [/quote]
