[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BASIS is asynchronous learning tomorrow due to the threats. [/quote]

So frustrating. [/quote]

From the email sent, it seems asynchronous is not due to the threats per se but due to the parental consternation and disruption to the learning environment. My kid said that the intercom was basically nonstop with kids names being called for early dismissal. [b]Kid guessed that 75% of kids left.[/b] Kid said they got very little done in classes.

I'm curious how the other schools are handling.[/quote]

My kid said same thing. My kid also said that while a small few were legit scared, most were like, "Wait, I can leave early? I am so out of here!"[/quote]

My Basis high schooler guessed that about 10% of the kids who went home left because they or their parents were genuinely worried, the other 90% either because it was a chance to leave or because the figured the learning environment would be  useless anyway with so many other kids leaving. (My kid was in the “useless to stay” group.)[/quote]

What proportion of 15 year olds have to be genuinely worried to allow them to be picked up by their parents? What proportion of 15 year olds genuinely worried would you just firmly tell to calm down and sit for their quiz? GTFOH.  10% is plenty. Let the kids know that the school cares for their physical safety and their emotional well-being, and that school is a place where you learn in safety.  Let them learn that this was a very bad thing, and that whoever did it was caught and is in very big trouble, and that students are now safe and can return to school on Monday.  [/quote]

All I can say is my kid and two of her friends at MacArthur were genuinely terrified and got picked up. That's already 3 too many. [/quote]
