And the fact that BIM is desperate and takes everyone. |
Current BIM family here. I know at least one or two high school kids still doing club Soccer. There was a school soccer team in Spring. We couldn’t attract the highest level players because their schedule with the club was too demanding.
My kid plays a travel team in another sport, too. |
I am fine with other BIM sites but I would never allow a kid to attend the one in McLean. |
If you read employee reviews on sites like GlassDoor, they are remarkably similar across the current Basis Independent Network. The facilities sound similarly limited. They have to refit office buildings for their campuses, so the funds and space aren't there to build out much more. |
I’m not so much anti-BIM as I am anti-BIM-booster. They’re like vegans, or proselytizing Christians. Their way is the One True way, and they are going to shove it in everyone else’s face and tell everyone else how they are wrong. |
I am a huge fan of DJO (O'Connell).
If your daughter can play soccer and have the amazing team experience, that's a big deal. My kid played one sport for 4 years and started another one as a senior. Made so many friends across "groups". It is a really supportive place. Not everyone is perfect but it is a good fit for a lot of kinds of students. |
lol. Sounds like you are describing yourself. |
