[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's a 5th grade parent speaking, BASIS, the great place. Which nerdy kid is in heaven without a school library? Without a school computer lab. Without a school gym or stage.

You wind up running your kid to superior extra-curriculars than BASIS offers eventually, which can be a real drag. BASIS is better than moving to the burbs or wiping out our college savings for privates for most of us, and it can certainly launch a productive college career at a top school. But please spare us the cheery superlatives from 5th grade.[/quote]

I think it is the parents more than the kids that miss these things!  If you remember back to being a kid, you never notice/appreciate any of this stuff.  How many times did our parents tell us to look at/enjoy the beauty of nature, etc?  Do I remember any of those gorgeous national parks they dragged me too year after year?  Nope!  Similarly, my main middle school memory of the ample fields, gym, etc. is one of being cold changing in the locker rooms and hating having to go out into the cold for PE.[/quote]
