And I'm tired of being told that my kid was not a "good match" by veritable senseless boosters because he couldn't be happy in a school with little in the way of fun, exercise, art education, natural light or respect for individual learning styles and preferences.  He's also thriving elsewhere. [/quote]
Your kid literally was not a good match for the school, since the school didn't have the right atmosphere or offerings for your child.  "Not a good match" doesn't mean that your child isn't smart enough (although that it the case for some kids who aren't a good match).  It literally means that the school does not provide the things that your child values most.   Academic superstars who want to play on competitive sports teams would also not be a good fit, not because they can't handle the academics, but rather because the school doesn't offer the things they want.  BASIS is operating on a somewhat limited budget, and they can't offer all of the things that the local public or private schools can offer.

PP, I'm getting the impression that you have a huge axe to grind with BASIS because you're insecure that your child will think he failed at BASIS or that other people will assume that your child wasn't smart enough for BASIS.  So, you want the school destroyed because you can't handle that it wasn't a good fit for your kid.  Why not just accept that your child is happy and thriving where he is, and many BASIS kids are happy and thriving at BASIS?[/quote]
