[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From everything I've read, Looks like BASIS may not have  start up trouble but may be angling for a bad case of 'founders syndrome.'

Choosing to send your child there will largely depend on your child's overall profile and needs.

So far though this is clearly not the right mix for me and my middle schooler. Too much of the discussion lacks any semblance of humanity.

While my child is 'Gifted' (Participates in CTY JHU programs etc, Stanford EPGY online courses) the kid also needs down time and especially to be with kind hearted people. I'm not sensing those possibilities from this thread.

So we will stick with the 'less uber human' school and continue to supplement at home.[/quote]

The kind hearted teacher is the one who makes lessons fun and meaningful for every and each student in the classroom. The kindhearted teacher is the one who does not think struggling students will always struggle and the bright students don't really need to be motivated. The kind hearted teacher does not think 10 or 11 year olds are already independent. It's not difficult to put on a fake smile and say "I really care for you or your child". Actions speak louder  than words.[/quote]
