[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Self centered entitled parent has entered the chat. He doesn't understand why the school can't just make an exception for his snowflake.[/quote]

i don't understand why bullying seems to be a huge part of BASIS culture. I can't imagine anyone from any other school speaking this way. [/quote]

DP. I am certainly not condoning the snarky retorts, but have you ever noticed how condescending and rude the anti-Basis posters are? I can understand not being happy with a particular school for whatever reason and sharing that experience with others on this forum, but comments accusing those who send their children there as not caring about their future, contributing to their mental health decline, drinking the Kool-Aid and similar are completely uncalled for. Isn't that a form of bullying also? Why such vitriol toward strangers over a school you're no longer affiliated with? There are few other schools that routinely get blasted on this forum like Basis, and when posters defend those schools, they are likewise accused of not caring about their children, etc. It's the same back-and-forth there. Again, not condoning it but it does happen elsewhere on this forum.[/quote]

+1.  A previous comment was that Basis was guilty of child abuse.   You are OK with those sort of comments?[/quote]
