If anything is going to drive families away from BASIS,

it is the Dean who gave the kids 5 minutes to toss the room to try to find the "lab materials" aka candy, while he and the teacher stepped out, and then came back in and said he would "mess with their grades" when they could not find the candy (which a student may just have innocently eaten, for all we know),

the back of your pants unfair administration of the tardy policy by the Dean's fiancee, who is also the mother of his child, which means these kids still don't know whether their tardies to their subsequent class after this debacle were actually excused or will get them a Friday Reflection without notice that may put a single mother's job in danger,

the Head of School who has been messaging himself in the mirror instead of reassuring these kids about their academic standing - 8 days later some students still believe they are going to fail the class for the grading period............

and the enmity and witch hunting that has resulted in 8La from trying to figure out who got them all into trouble. The trust and cooperative atmosphere in that section may never revert to its previous level,

while the Head of School has his faculty throwing balls to each other in "team building" exercises.........

Meanwhile the parents of the "top students" (according to the Head of School) who left for Wilson, Walls, and elsewhere, despite the fact that they are getting no credit for many things (imagine how miserable you must be to want to take World History over again, or even repeat 9th grade) have piped up here in response to the question about why they left Basis ........ and why some of them who are still there, not "academically struggling," will leave after 8th

answer that it was and is the lack of respect shown to the students by teachers and administrators.

I am getting a clear message from all of this, and I am baffled by the fact that Basis is not receiving the same message.
