[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some families are happy to get into a charter/feeder pattern that goes through high school, because then they feel like the HS problem is solved and they don't have to think about moving their kids again. IME, these are not the types of families that go to BASIS. BASIS attracts striver families that are willing to jump anywhere as soon as they feel like something may be better for their kid somewhere else. That's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just that there seems to be a greater number of families at BASIS that think this way.[/quote] Striver families? More like families willing to march in step,do as their told, drink the KoolAid, put up and shut up. The free thinking and choosey "striver" families I know EotP move to the burbs for bona fide GT, strong sports,music, arts, Intl Baccalaureate, language immersion etc. or go private. [/quote]
