[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nailed it.  BASIS is not a "normal" place for a middle school education.  Parents who know what they are signing up for and see how Basis for 4 years could be useful, in the big picture, whether that is because their child is coming from an elementary school with weak academics and they need to "jump start," or because they see it as a bridge between ES and Walls or private school, are probably satisfied, especially if their children are motivated learners who don't need extra support.  Those who were hoping BASIS would be something else, are likely disappointed.  In fairness to BASIS they are pretty up-front about what their school is like.  The problem is that many parents don't have other options so they go into BASIS with unrealistic expectations.  (The booster-types who couldn't possibly say anything negative about the choice they made for their kids' school is not helpful to this).  [/quote]
This is right but I also don't see why its a problem. There's no reason why a student shouldn't pick a school just for middle school, or use it as a jump start or bridge to walls. [/quote]

I am the PP and I agree completely![/quote]
