[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really worry about both schools piling homework on my kid.  He is really bright and I expect would be able to handle algebra quite early, but he has a learning disability in writing and ADHD both of which we are working with his awesome DCPS elementary to address.  He is on grade level or above in everything but writing, and I think we will get there in writing in the next couple years.  He's in 3rd grade now.

My husband has said no to Basis because the founder said the children at the school are [b]"classrooms full of workaholics"[/b] and he finds that incredibly distasteful and counter to his goals for our kids.  I'm hearing a lot of buzz about Basis and I know there will be great families there next year - definitely similar to the families at Latin.[/quote]

That's hilarious.  She's a hick from Arizona who has no idea what urban schooling is about to do to her "model."

The "workaholics" who are about to enter BASIS are the kids from Wards 4, 5, and 6 who are in 5th grade doing math at a 45% proficiency level, at best.  Oh, and they're calling their teachers disgusting and uncouth names at that.  No middle school in Ward 5?  Guess where all those kids who can't even do their multiplication tables are going to enroll!  Should be fun!  :)
