[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course there are many posters who support Mary and BASIS. We aren't trying to shut them up. You're the one trying to shut down any criticism of anything BASIS.

Who knows if it's going to be a "lousy school" or if "one could do a lot worse than BASIS" because the school isn't even open yet. What we do know is that the outspoken founder is leaving so she can spread the BASIS brand like wildfire all across America. She says so herself, in that email someone posted. We also know she's leaving before the school has even opened.

That's concerning. If you can't see that, you're a little too blinded by your boosterism.[/quote]

Um, seems to me you are too late to be backpedaling on this one, as it's already been suggested it's going to be a lousy school, and yes, before it's even started, this suggestion is being made.  Talk about shrill - here you and your cohorts are the ones going on with ominous hysterics about "stakeholders and taxpayers should be concerned" and "oh, my God, this will spread across America" as though Mary and BASIS constitute the single biggest threat to undermine education in our entire lifetime.

Holy crap.  Talk about trying to shut something down.  Seems you have your own agenda, to shut Mary and BASIS down.  And, you've been doing this without any meaningful details or specificity about anything, either.   It's all been based on nothing more robust than "I heard somewhere that she's mean."  "Um, I heard from somebody that she didn't like the job Ross was doing".  Wow.  Basically, "Oh my God. She must be the Devil incarnate.  And, I know so, because um, well, I have this vague, um, nonspecific rumor."  "We know why she's leaving" - yet all of those "I heard" and "we know" proclamations have proven to be dead wrong thus far.   Posting rumor, innuendo, constant needling - yet without any substance.  You sound like the folks who kept insisting the world was flat and that the moon landings were faked.

Like I said, get a grip.  It all looks quite ridiculous.[/quote]
