[quote=Anonymous]Wow, 20:23!  Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I'm the private school teacher and I actually think you and I are on the same page.  Things change, and that appears to be what happened at BASIS Tucson and at my school.  It doesn't mean change is always bad, but I agree that we need to reassess to make sure the situation is still right for our kids.  Maybe I blended my "hats" too much and that made my initial post confusing.  My intent was to post as a parent who thought I had a long term plan for my kids, and am re-evaluating.

I am confused at the apparent tension between BASIS and Latin parents on this forum.  The two schools seem very different and it seems like the more DC kids who can have access to high quality education the better.  I think BASIS will be an exciting school to watch develop.  I'm sorry you had a negative experience at Latin, and am really pleased that you are happy with the education your child is receiving at BASIS.  It's certainly a school we will be considering, along with Latin, and any other high performing middle schools, traditional public or charter, when we are at that point.

I just wanted to make my postion a little more clear since it appears you feel under attack.  A rising tide raises all ships.  I just wish there were more than two (which is where this thread started).  While I am not comfortable sharing where I teach at this point, (whether that reflects a lack of moral courage or not, I'll leave to others) I hope that sharing what I've seen at my current school will help raise questions for other parents considering where to send their children.[/quote]
