[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also removing my children from BASIS DC.  My children were not safe from bullying in the school and people in charge are dismissive and don't seem to care children getting bullied. [/quote]

BASIS parent here.

PP, would you be willing to elaborate?  Are your children boys or girls?  What grades are they in?  How were they bullied?  How did the administration respond (or not respond)?

Our daughter is at BASIS now and has not experienced any bullying. Our son will likely attend in a couple of years, and I do worry that he might be bullied.

Thanks[/quote]

The feeling I get after a few visits to Basis is that the kids run the show there.  I would much prefer a place where the adults set the tone and are clearly in charge rather than one where they react to kid behavior exclusively.  I think it leads to a more mature atmosphere.  Seems to me the basis tries to create a school culture by holding dances for 5th graders and electing "most intelligent" and "best dressed" in their middle school yearbook rather than ongoing discussions about character and values.  It may come out in more nasty behavior among the students.[/quote]
