[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it's a school that needs to fire the odd teacher mid-year, on a regular basis. The best post on this thread was a few pages back, the one mentioning arrogant and lazy admins. These guys promote a culture in which students aren't given enough scope to excel academically by building on singular talents and interests. If the BASIS curriculum offered better electives and more choice, more 8th graders would stay for high school. More would crack the most highly competitive colleges. A few of the most ambitious students wind up taking AP exams in subjects that BASIS doesn't teach at other schools. I can't imagine that the elementary school would be any different. The MO will be shut up and take Chinese, never mind the fact that the kids will forget it later on, before being allowed to study Chinese again in 8th grade...at the beginning level.[/quote]
