[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, we’re expecting little fron BASIS. But we’d sure like a modicum of common sense flexibility at no cost to the school on curriculum here and there. The ironclad policy on language instruction is so over the top obtuse that you can’t make this stuff up. Be our guests, march and salute on into the high school claiming that the rest of us leave because are children are too dumb and lazy to cope.[/quote]

Sounds like you enrolled at BASIS expecting them to change the curriculum, especially as it relates to language. Why enroll at all if you don't like the curriculum? [/quote]

Sounds like you’re OK with public school admins pushing families in every case. Before enrolling, we were ensured by admins that our kid would be challenged across the board. The reality was that his ES language classes were more rigorous than his 8th grade classes. We asked for harder work from his language teacher, the answer was no. No again when we asked if he could sit out language classes in the cafeteria studying on his own. Things weren’t much better in MS English and social studies classes.  BASIS isn’t for every student, right. [/quote]
