[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope...  To put it all in perspective, there are hundreds of families who are doing fine with BASIS, and who think it's a good school meeting most of their expectations, and far better than the alternatives.

And then there's a tiny handful making a huge overblown ruckus, mostly due to their own misunderstandings or skewed expectations - complete with dramatic screaming of "I'm not wrong, it's the rest of everything and the entire universe that is wrong and has to change!"[/quote]

I agree with this, but those parents are not why they shut down the list serve.  I want to know why they could not have just stated it is no longer run by boosters and everyone who wants to should opt out now, and then the rest of us would still have the resource.

There are also parents who always say "if your kid failed their comps, it was your fault as a parent because you were not on top of things and your kid is also lazy and clearly not 'Basis material'" when there are some kids who got retained for a year, stayed, did it over and are now doing well.[/quote]
