[quote]I remember this same thing was said about BASIS: private schools are shivering in their boots! It's nonsense, sorry. Sure, there are a handful of middle class (at your stated salary, I won't include you) families in NW private schools who are looking for great public or charter options. I count myself among them and will possibly switch my child to public or charter at some point. But for most private school families, tuition is a drop in the bucket, and they'll see no need to move on. No one at my child's school even knows that BASIS or Hardy or DCI or whatever exist. (They have sometimes heard of Deal, and I do even know of a family whose children left private school when their parents rented an efficiency apartment in Tenleytown just to establish "residency." Cheaper than 2 tuitions, apparently.) But who cares? Hardy is clearly strengthening its academic credentials, and one hopes that this will serve all comers well and also start to raise the bar for all public middle schools in DC.[/quote]

Amen. +1000[/quote]
