[quote=Anonymous]Parent of current BASIS student.
We came from a  well regarded charter which boasts exceptional teachers, creativity, critical thinking and deep understanding of subjects.

My son was completely miserable and begged me to send him back overseas. Teachers was complaining again and again that he was not trying and refusing to do his work. I asked them repeatedly to send the work home even in advance, but it never happened. They only sent home monthly notes that he was not turning in his homework. When I asked him about it, the answer was always the same -- there is no homework, or I think I am supposed to do more research or try to make the work of better quality with my partner.

At BASIS, there is structure and my child knows exactly what the expectations are. I check the CJ every day. Not once has he missed homework, which is taking a lot of time because he is making up for the past two years. 
Now he loves  going to school and says teachers are nice and explain well. I already met with the program director and learned that students were being grouped according to prior knowledge of English and Math.
We're happy. I know other parents who are also happy. And I am just a parent, not a BASIS booster.[/quote]
