[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PS.  If BASIS' approach to language learning was intelligent, the most prestigious test-in MS and HS magnet programs around the country would be rushing to copy it, along with top private schools.

They aren't.[/quote]

I think you are overestimating how much anyone cares about language learning in the US. [/quote]

I know that of the students who left BASIS mainly over language learning policy is heading to an Ivy League school to study engineering in the fall.  We keep in touch with the family. He took an AP language test freshman year in HS and scored a 5. Later on, he took, an International Baccalaureate Diploma language exam (two years past AP) and scored 6/7. It seems that a few Ivy admissions officers care.  Yea, maybe nobody else.[/quote]

I think this poster is drunk.[/quote]

This is not the first BASIS thread this person has relayed this story on. I wonder if it is the same parent who used to complain that yu ying doesn’t have a preference for native Cantonese speaker. Very interested in language education, very bothered a city public school did not accommodate.[/quote]
