[quote=Anonymous]Wow, just wow 19:06:  Maybe rethink the approach to "attracting and retaining" parents by calling them elitist, narcissistic racists if they don't agree with you about how much you think Basis needs to change, and to flog and scream at supportive and otherwise happy parents to shut and go crawl under a rock.   :roll:

It's all fine and good to be well intentioned in soliciting thoughts on what you think should change - to an extent - but ultimately, we also need to recognize and acknowledge that ultimately parents/boosters are not school directors and have limited input - we as parents, can, should and do certainly suggest any small changes as appropriate, and I've seen Basis be responsive to many such suggestions over the last 2 years, but on the flip side, we also need to recognize that any major or fundamental change to Basis DC substantially divergent from their other Basis schools and model isn't going to happen, i.e. curriculum, comps, policy, APs, discipline, et cetera.

As with that sudden flurry of similar posts on the listserv, this thread has tragically gone off the deep end into the surreal.  Thankfully most of us parents are a bit more calm, pragmatic and grounded than that.   Hopefully posters can be mindful to take a few deeeeep breaths before clicking on the "submit" button next time.

Any genuinely *positive and constructive* suggestions are always welcome - but I think we can all do without the accusations and attacks.

Peace out.[/quote]
