[quote=Anonymous]PP continued.... In other words, I think to the extent BASIS is a good school it is so despite many aspects of the curriculum, admin control and institutional design, not because of it. And, ultimately, I cannot rate BASIS highly and am compelled to speak out against it because of the damage I saw it inflict on a not insubstantial percentage of its student body. I get very angry when I hear BASIS defenders say, "well BASIS is not for everyone." I think it is OK to have niche public schools - one size does not fit all - but don't market BASIS as a school for all when it so clearly is not. When they say attrition is built into the program to me that means harm is built into the program (both for those that leave and those that struggle unhealthily but remain). That is completely unacceptable for a school no matter how strong other aspects of the program.[/quote]
