[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]

LOL.  You must be new to DCUM.

Believe me, the private school threads are much worse.[/quote]

I don't see any bullying in my child's high school class. It is a pretty tight knit group.  As for here, I don't see why people who have decided that Basis isn't a good fit for their family need to keep telling us that we are bad because it is working for ours.

Of course it isn't perfect.  We came from an immersion school, and I certainly would have loved to keep that up in school.  But I educated myself before enrolling my children, and I knew that wouldn't be possible there.  So I made a choice, and we have handled that issue outside the school.  Entering Basis and complaining about the language policy is a you problem; the school makes the policy really clear.  If you enroll your child in Basis with any hope that they will enter an advanced language program there, you are setting your family up for failure.  Just don't do it.[/quote]
