[quote=Anonymous]As a Basis parent, I find that reading most of these negative opinions to be very shallow written by parents that probably skin and grin but would NEVER have the guts to speak there mind anywhere other than with their "social class" of friends and from behind the computer screen. Here are some major point coming from an AA low/SES
1. I too am a bit annoyed with the misbehaviors of some of the students at Basis but please be aware that many behaviors that go untold are sometimes swept under the rug to be kept "in house" UNTIL count day
2. Since when did "status" depict intelligence? You can tell a lot about some of the kids that attend based on their parents prejudices. I'm sure the apple doesn't fall far from those trees and remember our children attend school with these children and children tend to be more forth coming with their opinions especially when they know they are being backed up at home!
3. Every child attending Basis has parents that are WELL aware of how Basis was supposed to be ran, it's educational status, the fact that the founders can care less about color or class because they are economist and only care about the numbers and what those kids look like on paper!
4. With regards to again "status", I'm really concerned with what's going on in some of you white/high/SES homes because some of your children attending are exhibiting very homosexual behavior and being agressive with some of the students I hear! Parents, you better be questioning your children more !!!! That may be some of the reasons for some of the aggression. Another point is some of the sneaky passive aggressive students are getting other kids in trouble by harassing some of the children and when the harassed child retalliates, THAT child is the one getting in trouble! 
5. Demographically and socially different rules apply and I will just be again politically incorrect on this one but honest.
In a black/low/SES environment, there is something called "snitches get stitches" meaning, children are raised to not run and tell EVERY single thing that happens or is done to them. In a white/high/SES you tell everything even if you were the one causing the reaction or if you have NOTHING to do with a situation going on. With those two different upbringings, you can see how it would seem as if the BLACKS are the ones causing all the trouble when in deed its not entirely true! 
Now, you can read this and think what you want but be careful when you reply. My child comes home many times telling stories of how many if the kids that are misbehaving and or being sneaky don't get punishes simply because they are almost ALWAYS the first ones to tell and that is also the culture that the school is enforcing (read you handbook). It's frustrating because all that does is re-enforce the bad behavior that goes undetected and continue to add the spotlight to many of the kids that are just trying to find there way in this environment that is new to all of the students there! Now I do admit, there are some students there that are flat out disrespectful and disruptive and they do need to leave regardless of their race or SES but those other silent, destructive menaces need to go too and trust me we know their names VERY well because our children tell us!!! Parents, starts questioning your children and don't take it lightly when they tell you of the many disturbing things going on and remember, there are NO video cameras in those classrooms so the only word you have to go by is your child and the teachers.
