[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. I hear complaints about teachers ability to control the as room from 6th and 7th grade parents who have been there a few years. And no, chaos in the classroom is NOT acceptable and yes, it can and should be controllable by the teacher and the administration. Both by making the content interesting and accessible for the students and by a good, consistent system for dealing with problems.  There is a problem with the teacher if there is so much talking and nonsense in the classroom that they can't get the lesson done. Kids are the same everywhere.  I won't accept these excuses of pp's and you shouldn't either. You are being taken for a ride if you do.[/quote]

Very difficult to agree with this post.

First, as mentioned earlier, no children have been there a few years.  Maybe the parents, but that would be strange, since the school is only in the middle of year two.

Second, middle schoolers crave content, and there is plenty of that at BASIS.  Interesting is not an issue.  Accessible is definitely a problem for many who came from lower performing DCPS schools.  They have a lot of ground to make up.

Third, kids are not the same everywhere.  Smart kids who are used to being bored can be the worst troublemakers.  Give them a year or two, and then check back.[/quote]
