[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]

Awww, I feel bad for you. The truth is, it’s hard to know what your 4th grader is going to enjoy. You may know they can take advanced classes (we knew that about our kid), but you don’t know what the culture is like and if your kid will enjoy it. We couldn’t have known about the culture until we tried it. Our top performing kid was miserable so we left when we could.

Either way, don’t blame the parents who are trying to make the best of a bad situation (DCPS options). Blame DCPS for not offering better options. [/quote]
