[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to PP 10:49 - THANK YOU!!!! From this Basis parent. The talk on this board about being counseled out (ok, yes, actually they do say "Basis is not for everyone" and let the families decide but they do NOT suggest to kids that they should leave the school. In fact I know very well a student who school staff has discussed with the child and the family whether college is something to pursue after high school graduation because they also recognize rightly that college is not for everyone) is nothing I have seen or experienced. I see "chosen" mentioned by posters in threads about Basis and I have [b]no clue what they are talking about [/b](and I have been around since Basis opened in DC). Basis is a good school for my child because if my child decides to attend college (as a 1st generation student no less!) I think DC will be better equipped to handle the course work DC can expect in college because of their time at Basis. I wish all the Basis seniors the best fit for them after graduation and kudos on earning those h.s. diplomas!! [/quote]

These parents are talking about students who get all kinds of "breaks" and "perks". BASIS is a small school and students can sense what is going on. [b]For example if someone always aces in foreign language tests and exams but cannot comprehend simple sentences, then a fellow classmate might wonder what is going on . By the same token, if your student scores low on a test taken at school (including standardized tests) but gets a substantially higher score (over 50% improvement) taken at a different location just a couple months later. you cannot help but wonder ...  [/b]
 Just because you have not experienced these things does not mean it has not happened.[/quote]

What are you alleging?  That students are routinely being given high marks in foreign language without speaking it?  That students are buying good grades for tests at other locations?

Those accusations are both serious and outlandish.

Also, you sound unhinged.[/quote]
