[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what you got there is a bunch of hot shot students who are motivated by challenge. Not surprising to me at all that most are A students.[/quote] My 0.02 on the original question. We have crossed BASIS-DC off the list based largely on conversations with a college friend who now teaches at the BASIS Tucson campus. Many factors in the mix, but two in particular relate directly to the OP's question. ... As upper middle class educated parents we are confident that our DC will rise to the challenge of academics in due time within the "ordinary" educational system supplemented by our supportive home environment. We have a fairly negative view of an extreme focus on standardized tests (although they have a role to play), and the anxiety and lack of creativity (cram / bubble fill / repeat) that a test-based accelerated curriculum will create. [/quote] Which schools, then, are still on your list, PP?[/quote]
