[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you not research at all before signing up? Very frustrating as the parent of a kid who really wanted to go and would have thrived there, but didn't get a spot. Thanks for wasting one.[/quote]

You're probably better off...[/quote]

This is just not universally true. I know, in real life, kids who are happy there. They have to students who want to study a lot and work hard. I also know kids who absolutely hated and got out. Those kids should never have gone there, and should have left the spot for someone who is more suited.

this is about to turn into a "BASIS is child abuse" post, and it is a real disservice to DC parents who have a kid would would enjoy it and love the chance to take advanced classes.[/quote]

I don’t think anyone is against “advanced classes.” That’s why I sent my kids there. I think there’s a difference between “getting good grades” (which my children are doing) and “thriving” which I think happens at a school that is less chaotic, punitive and limited. [/quote]

So what is your plan? Asking as a soon-to-be parent. [/quote]

Walls. Or moving. [/quote]
