[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids was at Latin for fifth and really got a ton of attention.  Now at Basis and getting a better education which will continue thru highschool (and we really hope BASIS sticks to their word and that those who fail the sixth grade comps go to summer school, and if they fail again either repeat sixth or leave) but it is a lot of pressure (although self imposed, and most of the kids from the JKLM cohort have no problem) and she does get less attention unless she goes to office hours.  But in general you cannot lose by going to Latin if you think you are going to go private for high school.  Walls seems in flux now and Wilson may be to large for the child.  Private is not an option for us and we have a highly gifted math kid (not my doing!)[/quote]

This is why I do not care for BASIS parents.  The ones that post on DCUM always seem to dwell on the negative - fail and repeat or leave.  Go to Latin.

BASIS parent who had to personally teach my child Algebra 1 or he would have failed rather than get an A and whose history teacher failed to teach Rome which was tested on the test that this parent wants use as an reason to fail or push out students.

Latin parents seem to like rigor with support for students who may be struggling. [/quote]
