[quote=Anonymous]My comparison to NYC magnets and NYC schools in general was not to suggest that Basis was as good as a Hunter or a Stuyvesant (which when I was growing up was in its old crumbling building). It was just a counterpoint to those who repeatedly assert that Basis is destined to be wretched for all due to its dismal facilities. Don’t get me wrong, I would much rather have proper DC magnet programs in light-filled buildings. My primary point is that buildings and sports are not critical to an education or even a happy adolescence. I’m sure a number of privates in the DC area offer a better experience. But I don’t think that’s a fair comparison either. Your point about Basis not conducting exit interviews with parents of bright, successful kids is a bit concerning. I’ll keep an eye on that one. But so long as bright, self-motivated kids aren’t leaving in droves I won’t get too worked up.[/quote]
