[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn’t the people who left because it wasn’t a good fit like you that are the problem.  It is the people who keep coming to insist that every kid who has stayed is unhappy.  Those parents sound crazy.  Nobody, even those with perfectly happy kids there, has ever said it is s perfect school or that it fits everyone.  It is a small round hole of a school; it has to match the input pretty clearly for it to work.  It isn’t just that the kid needs to be smart and organized amd self motivated with great executive functioning skills.   But they also have to do well with the small number of extracurriculars offered.  For instance, I know a kid who would do great there but he is obsessed with motors and engineering.  Basis would be a terrible choice for him.  JR is perfect.  Different things fit different kids.  Why all the hatred?[/quote]

I know a kid who got in and turned it down.  She would have done really well at Basis, mature, studious, etc.  She turned it down because when she visited she didn’t like the facility and the lack of outdoor time.  She didn’t hate the school, just wasn’t for her.[/quote]
