[quote=Anonymous]NP - I agree with 6:42 except for the extremely happy with what my child has been learning at BASIS.  I am not.  Also the disruptions are not similar to Deal classrooms but may be similar to other middle schools.  Deal's classes are very orderly.  I think it is because they hire real teachers who are experienced with how to control a classroom.  We have had to supplement outside of BASIS because I want to make sure my child is not behind in high school other than in rote memorization.  BASIS also lost two good teachers to Deal last year; wonder if this is because of them not distributing the Annual Teacher's Fund.  They are also losing other good teachers this year.  Not happy with student hours as select teachers regularly are missing in action when my DC tries to attend.

From my AA friends at Latin or have in the past attended Latin; you must be regularly present in the school because of stereotypes.

If I was a [u]stay at home [/u]Mom I would choose Deal hands down due to lack of "forced" rigor.  I can deal with BASIS because I have designed my own program to fix it's deficiencies and so far my DC is cooperating.  Unless something seriously changes we will not be there for high school.  I don't want my child to be behind compared to other students with STEM majors in College.[/quote]
