[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, your child could be happier at BASIS.  It doesn't hurt for any school to have good facilities. I'm tired of hearing Hill parents calling Basis wonderful.  Wonderful schools not only have strong academics, they have space for young people to spread their wings, create, use good computers, reflect, perform, play sports etc.[/quote]

Her child is happy at Basis.  How can you not say so when you don’t even know the child and family at all???

You are imposing your personal values and judgement on another’s family. Pretty rude and obnoxious.

Her child might not care about a library or gym and could be ecstatic with just challenging academics.

BASIS parents whose kids attended a charter elementary (the majority of school's students) have always been far less bothered by the BDC facilities than are parents whose kids have been in a DCPS elementary. You don't miss what you never had. the

If you want a great school facility, go to your IB. Or move. Or homeschool. Or pay tuition. You have choices and there are pros and cons to each.

Except we came from a fabulous DCPS school that my Basis child’s younger siblings continue to love.

I definitely don’t think Basis is a fabulous school for all kids.  But my nerdy, academically-motivated, non-athletic child is quite happy there and presently has zero desire to be anywhere else.

You might have made the right decision for your family; meanwhile, we made the right decision for our oldest child.  No need for you to denigrate it.  [/quote]
