[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you afford a private or parochial school that would nurture and inspire the kid, while gently instilling some discipline? BASIS is essentially a kill and drill machine in a depressing facility. There's mix of inexperienced teachers who don't knock themselves out and good ones. My own extremely bright kid did well enough there academically but wasn't happy. [/quote] Do you ever get tired of parroting the same old lies? Your kid didn't do well at BASIS DC and dropped out. [/quote] The people on DCUM with vendettas against schools — that in some cases their child never attended! — are really weird. What do you think motivates them? We had an absolutely horrible experience at a school and while I did not hesitate to express how f-ed up it was, I always understood it was just my experience and other children were fine, even in the same class. I guess maybe it takes having a kid who does not fit the mold to be a parent who is more realistic about what schools can and cannot do? [/quote]
