BASIS treats its students so differently.
Given the exorbitant amount of homework and constant testing, most students will barely have time to sleep, let alone do any kind of after school activity.
But then, there are those students who get all kinds of preferential treatment, like taking the weekly tests many times until the desirable grade is reached. These asre the students whose precomprehensive and comprehensive grades are adjusted and curved. These students will have the opportunity to do any kind of after school activity since they know their grades will not suffer. [/quote]

I call bullshit. Our kid has been there 5 years and we never saw favoritism or teachers bending the rules for only select kids. Now some kids may have IEPs with testing accommodations but that is not favoritism. Also, showing favoritism via inflating grades would go against the school's model and is not likely at all since the school wants kids to succeed with their curriculum which is quite demanding.

As for activities, every kid is different and some will be able to do a lot of activities and others not so much. Our kid has consistently done at least 2 activities per year and some years more but it varied since the workload can be demanding depending on the year.[/quote]
