[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid is academically advanced, it will be fine.

If not, you will know by the end of 6th grade.[/quote]

I think it’s probably more about the type of kid. My kid is not academically advanced per se but he adjusts really well to expectations, so I think he could have done OK. I didn’t really realize this about him in 4th so we didn’t try for Badie. [/quote]

Agree: Basis isn't just for really smart kids, it's for anyone who is reasonably capable and willing to follow the structure. My kids are doing fine as Basis and it's certainly easier if they have the ability to do the homework faster and learn with less studying, but it's really whether they have the focus and organizational skills. One kid aced everything; the other is a middle-of-the-class student (due I think more to motivation than ability), but still gets the assignments turned in and I think probably learns more getting Bs at Basis than As at some other schools.

It won't work out if your child can't stand not having outdoor recess, isn't organized enough to turn in homework, is so academically behind that they fail tests or can't complete the homework, or wants a more typical school experience.[/quote]
