[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No kid loves BASIS. Kids love fresh air, light, fun school electives supported by serious resources, a strong school community, [b]fine performing arts programs, strong school sports programs, strong instrumental music programs, a chance to run around during the school day, a chance to go on interesting field trips on a regular basis,[/b] Parents love avoiding crappy DCPS middle schools while continuing to enjoy their hip row house lifestyle.  I say this as a parent who used to proudly proclaim that my kids loved BASIS. The thing is, they didn't and neither did their friends. By 9th grade, almost the entire friend group, a dozen kids, had voted with their feet.  [/quote]

All of those things can be supplemented outside of school. But academics really can't be.

My kid actually does love BASIS. He loves what he is learning, and he loves the high standards and feels proud to meet them. My younger kid probably would not, so we'll likely find a different school for him. But kids who like it exist. [/quote]
