[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Why do people post nonsense about basis when their kids don’t attend the school or will not attend the school.[/b]  Seems to me that they are insecure in their education choices and their kids abilities so they have to cut down other schools.

Basis dc middle school has been a godsend for my bright hardworking child.  DC has learned far more than he would have at deal, hardy, Hobson your overpriced private,  etc.   The upper school curriculum is irrelevant to your kid in 5th and 6th grade.

Make your decision based on fit for your child not ramblings of bored stay at home parents.  The homework is only a challenge for kids who are disorganized, or have slow processing capabilities.  Even in those cases, your snowflake will struggle but eventually become a better student.  It is okay to let them work hard.....you do not have to make everything so easy for them.[/quote]

In our IB school I've gotten to know a few families who left BASIS with bright, hard working kids who didn't struggle academically but were worn down by unnecessary pressure, a crushing amount of homework, and a lack of appropriate school life balance for a preteen.  To me that's being MORE secure to know that even if BASIS provides challenge and rigor that your child can handle that it's still a bad fit.[/quote]
