[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of a brand new 5th grader at Basis.

We had already our share of tears, due to the homework workload ;). My DS is coming from a quite relaxed elementary school so he is feeling the pressure.

Can anyone share how is decided if they attend Algebra? My DS had been allocated to Maths 7/8 ( another source of complains..." So much work mama").

So far I'm quite happy with the school and syllabus. Seems ambitious but pretty much aligned with the European standards.

Thanks![/quote]

They changed it the year before last year,mans it was upo the individual teacher. My honor roll kid in 8/7 with a 94 Math average for the the year (before the instituted mastery defense)  did not get moved to Algebra 1, but our frien's non-honor roll (they were 90's club though) whose Math average for the year  was lower and had a different teacher that year that was considered more laid back did. From what Kate Reynolds has said, it is up to the teachers and the department.
 
And  the tears WILL stop flowing-the first two months are rough, if they stay organized and likes the teachers and the subject matter, the rigor will be much less of an issue. Good luck![/quote]

The fact that your child is sobbing about middle school is a sign. BASIS is not a healthy environment for young children. [/quote]

My middle schooler also has tears over the Nats losing, soccer practice going badly, seeing Inside Out and the idea of grandparents dying. Emotions can be very close to the surface in addition to hormones. Who the hell are you, pp? I'm guessing you neither have a middle schooler nor a BASIS student.[/quote]
