[quote=Anonymous]I want to thank the parents at Basis and the Basis grads for their info about the school. Whereas previously, Basis wasn't on our radar as a middle school option - from people's description, it sounds exactly what we were looking for; A sound foundation in the basics, lots of math drills using Saxon math and an accelerated math curriculum. Everyone's criticisms about Basis seems to be about what it's not. .. I like the Chinese model of teaching math probably b/c I'm Asian. Unlike Americans, we think everyone can be "good" at math and expect kids to be able to do algebra and trig in middle school - this is not rocket science. Average math students need a lot of drilling and practice/homework to get the fundamental down pat - unlike your math whizzes who "get it". Nothing wrong in having to work for something...[/quote]
