[quote=Anonymous]Mom of a 4th grader on the Hill. All things considered our first choice will be Latin. Here is what we checked as our pluses and minuses for each: Pluses for BASIS -- great location -- curriculum -- seems well endowed Minuses for BASIS -- worried about first year blips -- worried that bright child would get burned out (the documentary The Race to Nowhere made me wary of schools that teach to pass tests and the reviews on great schools for the Arizona schools seem to indicate that BASIS might be this type of school) -- no athletic fields Pluses for Latin -- established program -- everyone I know who sends child there likes it -- seems to have good administration and well liked teachers (liked what I saw when I observed) -- like that they have socratic seminars -- dedicated bus from Hill Minuses for Latin -- no permanent location and small classrooms where they are now -- fields two blocks away -- long distance from the hill.
