[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Hilarious. No public school should be allowed to operate as a “bad fit” for most of its students. My  kid really put out for Basis, was an academic star there throughout middle school. But he became too unhappy for us to stay. We moved to the Deal district and got on with things, but it didn’t have to be that way. Basis could be much better run. OP is right to complain. [/quote]
We get it, PP.  Your son is the most perfectly perfect academic superstar that ever existed, and if he was unhappy at the school, then it's just a bad school.  The other kids who are thriving there don't exist, or they're less perfect than your kid and thus don't count.   :roll:

There's a chance my kids will leave BASIS in high school (for the larger school experience).  I don't see it as some huge failure of the program, since my kids would have received excellent educations from 5-8 that will help them thrive anywhere.  Not every kid who leaves was a "bad fit."  Some decide that they wanted other things for high school.  Some get into other elite programs that only run 9-12.  As long as they're receiving a top notch education while at BASIS, the school is doing its job.
