[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has anxiety, fine motor deficits, slow processing speed and an expressive language disorder.

Has typical accommodations - uses laptop for all work, extra time for all tests including APs (school handled the College Board request quickly and easily). Teachers provide lecture materials electronically.

Learning specialist works with DC weekly to both plan work (chunking longer assignments) and helps teachers develop strategies to draw DC into class discussions.

DC has no behavioral challenges and strong long-term memory and reading comprehensive skills. The strengths align well to the BASIS curriculum and the small class size prevents him for getting 'lost.' DC is very uncoordinated so no PE requirement in US is a blessing.

I'm well aware that it isn't necessarily the right environment for all kids but[b] they have been a good partner to us[/b]. [/quote]
That's what BASIS is about.
If they decide your family is a good fit for the school, they will accommodate you. Otherwise, they will do everything to get rid of anyone, even the brightest kids who would not need any accommodations.[/quote]

I see this repeated over and over, and I just don't understand it. To me, BASIS seems very straightforward about expectations, tests, and grades. What exactly does BASIS do "to get rid of" a student? [/quote]
