[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good post. This 9th grade parent doesn't understand why BASIS doesn't partner with a variety of organizations to beef up HS ECs not just other DC charters. Admins don't seem to have the bandwidth, drive or resources at their disposal to improve matters. Our family is wearying of paying through the nose and charging around town to burnish our teen's EC CV on a basic level. At this rate, we may not stay the course.[/quote]

"..burnish our teen's EC CV" makes it sound like you are doing some activities not because your child enjoys them or you think it will provide real benefits, but just to list on a CV. For your child's sake, I hope that's not what you really meant.[/quote]

Not what I meant. The inconvenient truth is that an UMC kid needs far more serious ECs than BASIS offers to aim high in college admissions with a good shot of being admitted to schools admitting in the single digits and teens. You have to find them, pay for them, support them on your own. The process gets exhausting and can be lonely for the kid.[/quote]
