[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, some people don't even consider BASIS; some attend but wish they had better options (however they define that) and happily leave for 9th; and others continue through high shool.

Sounds like lots of schools in the city. NOt sure why it attracts the haters.

I think it's because the school - and many of its parents - claims to have the most advanced curriculum for a DC public, at least in MS. That boast strikes some as cocky and arrogant, others as true. It also makes some parents annoyed that their MS doesn't have similar advanced options, albeit in a kinder, gentler, more beautiful setting.

Doesn't every middle school here bring the haters?

Deal: Too crowded
Hardy: Not Deal, something about uniforms
SH: "Gangs" in red shirts
Jefferson: "Isn't on the Hill"
EH: failing school
BASIS: good programs if you don't mind the prison like setting
Latin: out-dated[/quote]

Fun summary, but "haters" is major BS.  Most of the alleged haters simply state facts on DCUM - e.g. the school doesn't track for social studies or science.  Only in DC's toxic political environment would stating the unvarnished truth make a poster a hater.  [/quote]
