[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No kid loves BASIS. Kids love fresh air, light, fun school electives supported by serious resources, a strong school community, 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, 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]

Ooh, found the "shame on your selfish rowhouse lifestyle" poster. You been on vacation? You're usually chiming in a little earlier on these threads.

Anyway, yeah, you got me. I secretly hate my kids and prioritize my hipness over their education. That's definitely why my kid is at BASIS rather than FCPS. Thank God people like you are posting on every single BASIS thread to show the rest of us the error of our ways.

I'm a little surprised you're not also going after those hip rowhouse parents who send their kids to Latin or DCI instead of doing the loving thing and moving to the suburbs. Or is it only selfish when our kids go to a school your child didn't like?[/quote]
