[quote=Anonymous]BASIS seems to have a single goal - graduate students who are admitted elite four-year college programs.

If your kid isn't the type who's likely to be admitted to a top four-year college, why submit them to the "hell" of the preparation at BASIS?  Why tangle repeatedly with inflexible and creepy upper admins?  If, all things considered, the child isn't being treated remotely fairly month after month, school year after school year, is there no alternative program for your child anywhere in the Metro area, even if you have to move to find it?  Why beat your head against the wall at BASIS?  Why put your kid in a situation where you'd probably have to file a case with the DCPS Ombudsman, or sue to compel BASIS to obey the law?  I ask this having filed a civil rights related case with the DCPS Ombudsman last year.  She promptly took the case (promoting the opposition to back down before OSSE could haul admins into embarrassing meetings).

It sounds like a strong suburban MS program, where admins were motivated to meet the needs of 504 and SPED kids would be a much better fit for the lot of you.[/quote]
