[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like the point above. UMC DC families don’t need BASIS to save them academically, including the Banneker bound. [b]Everything BASIS teaches to middle schoolers can readily be learned elsewhere if a family is determined to make the learning happen.[/b] BASIS doesn’t bother teaching modern languages until 8th grade, far too little too late. Don’t buy the BASIS hype.[/quote] The family has to include the kids. One of our kids does everything we say; we could have easily supplemented. It's a total fight to get the other to do anything other than the absolute minimum. Fortunately, the minimum at Basis is adequate - which it would not be at our neighborhood MS. As has been repeated, we didn't choose Basis because it is the greatest school ever, but because it's the best option for us in DC. [/quote]
