[quote=Anonymous]I suspect the reason for the strong language in this Basis debate is the worry about our kids, not so much antipathy toward those who disagree.  It's so hard to divine what's the best way to parent.  Even the dad whose son won't speak to him because he was pushed too hard...of course that dad thought he was doing the right thing.  Likewise the parents who let the child take full ownership whose kid just skips homework.  And put all those parents in the same school and you get some serious defensiveness and smugness.  But in fact we just don't know.  And, as if academic philosophies weren't enough, there's the social stuff.  
That's why it's tough to get a calm discussion going here.  I've tried, with innocuous posts seeking views about teachers, the picnic, the AP's, homework load, classroom behavior and other topics that go to 'how's Basis going so far?'.  These posts fell flat, because they didn't tap into the fundamental question, is basis the 'answer' for my kid.   For me the jury is out and that stresses me out a lot.  [/quote]
