[quote=Anonymous]How long have you been at BASIS? You're not all wrong, but you sound like a MS parent.

Many of the HS parents don't care for the current HoS, and not because he can be cold. We think he's wrong for the school because he's a bully, and not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. His intellectual limitations seem to power his intransigence over a range of issues he can't quite grasp, great and small. His brilliant and good-natured predecessor is sorely missed by 11th and 12th grade families.

If I could do it over again, like the mom who took her marbles to a parochial school, I'd have left after the current head's first year for a HS led by a capable, and cerebral, grown-up.

Stabilizing BASIS' leadership by installing a mediocre insider at the top was a mistake on the part of Arizona HQ that isn't necessarily apparent to relative newcomers.  The program would have been far better off led by an internal hire from out West (like the previous HoS) with the intellectual wattage and integrity to lead DC's most academic public HS. What's undeniable is that turnover of strong HS teachers has risen steadily during this head's tenure, and not just because of Covid (as a variety of stakeholders likes to claim). I predict a dip in college admissions success in 2-3 years mainly due to the exodus of a gaggle of beloved teachers. [/quote]
