[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would choose private. My kid was cooped up inside all day, every day at BASIS. I expected them to take advantage of their proximity to the all the monuments/museums and green space that downtown has to offer, but it’s drill and kill all day, and lunch. [/quote] For many of the BASIS students, they have grown up in DC and could give guided tours of the National Gallery or the Zoo or the Air and Space Museum or the Lincoln Memorial. Why do they need to waste class time on something they already know? It's the students from the far suburbs who get enriched by coming in and availing themselves of all the monuments/museums in downtown DC. Many of the students ride their bikes to and from BASIS. The older students can leave the building for lunch. Think outside the box! Not all school experiences look like the nostalgic suburban ones shown on TV. Not that BASIS is for every student, but it's not drill and kill and lunch.[/quote]
