[quote=Anonymous]Well okay. Sarcasm aside, even the English teacher 12 year veteran teacher (at Back to School night tonite for 7th/8th parents) seemed to be amazed and chagrined at the emphasis on grammar she has to teach.  Oh well, and there's the fact that all seventh graders have Biology, Chemistry, Physics that distinguishes the school.  Oh and Critical Thinking for all 7th graders.  Basis' zero tolerance for lateness and unpreparedness will kick in soon (no lab prep? you don't do the lab.  Unexcused late for class? no entry. No homework? You get a zero but you still have to do the homework.)  The way they do math is really great: 30 problems a night, but the child grades it himself, then class time includes five or ten minutes for students to correct the ones got wrong, so you actually learn from the homework.  Amazing extracurriculars difficult to choose between after-school offerings.

I wish my son had this tightly organized school in fourth grade, when his habits were being solidified.  There is still room in the eighth grade, and maybe in the seventh grade too, so go for it.  [/quote]
