[quote=Anonymous]I attended Bronx Science in the 80s (before Stuyvesant had its new building and when Bronx Science’s facilitates were superior).

I recall an hour-long commute on the 4 train that involved a long walk past a subway junkyard in the Bronx, a concrete field where kids played handball, an auditorium where we gathered for exceedingly boring assemblies a couple of times or so a year.  There was PE, which I hated, as did my friends.  The neighborhood commerce opportunities consisted of a truck that sold hotdogs, chips and the like.  If there was a library I can’t recall.  I think there was a nearby field.  I understood it as the place where kids who played hookie sometimes went to get high.

Mostly I remember some great teachers and lots of smart, motivated kids.

In contrast to this recollection, Basis’ downtown location near the mall is quite stunning and vibrant to me.  And the building itself seems totally fine and rather inconsequential.

What matters is the peer group and what happens in the classroom.[/quote]
