[quote=Anonymous]"The (wow, 37 pages now) of this thread has consisted of 5% actual talk about BASIS, and 95% random pot-stirring and troublemaking, and I bet most of it has come from folks who aren't even involved with BASIS, just folks who have their own anti-BASIS agenda."

Well, I actually do go to Basis and I can assure you that everything I have stated is true and contrary to your comment, I am not anti-Basis. I love the curriculum and what Basis has to offer. This is the first year and as with any new company, organization etc., there are kinks to work out but I'm not going to sit back and allow most of these parents to state their bias opinions that further contaminate others thoughts about this school based on the students "status" determining how well they are doing or not doing when the reality is that ALL of the students tested, on average, the SAME level. That includes, private, public, charter schools and high/low SES status and these ARE the current Basis students! The mighty blow came when the parents spending their money on those "private" schools quickly found out that their child wasent the GT "class" they thought! This was all before the school was in session. So when their child wasent doing so well, they go on here and talk about how their children were declining due to the low/SES behavior and that is NOT the case coming in the door! The handful of kids that DID do exceptionally well were the homeschool kids!! So say what you like but know what you speaking about and tell the truth don't just jump on the "bashing" band waggon and if anyone else wants to question the fact that this is truth or not.....it's no secret.....call Basis and simply ask. Or if you are too a Basis parent then you already know I'm speaking the truth. I would feel a little cheated too if I found out that my child tested the same as any other average public school kid after I had paid thousands in tuition or broke my neck to get in these "elite" schools but don't go blaming a certain "class" for it![/quote]
