[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no connection to Basis DC but think that this thread is hysterical.

OP asks how many kids will be in a 5th grade class in Basis DC next year.  Another poster answers this question, noting that Basis generally doesn’t admit kids after 5th grade and explaining why.

We then see a litany of posters declaiming how their precious snowflakes were at Basis for a year and were top students, that they are straight A students at their in-bounds DC school and far smarter than anyone else, that they are at a suburban school in MD or VA and excelling in their gifted classes, that they were admitted to a Basis school in Arizona or someplace based on a placement test and are getting top grades, or they are at a private school and doing wonderfully.  The parents then go on to conclude that, based on their subjective experience, Basis DC is not so exceptional.  Seriously, non-Basis DC parents, why do you get so triggered?  Why are you bothering to comment here?  Are you that defensive or insecure?

I guess that you need to convince yourself that you made the best choice for your kid.  As result, you monitor the DCUM DC public school threads (even if you don't have a kid in DC public school) and spend your time bragging about smart your child is and how you made the best educational choice for him or her.

You know what?  No one in this thread, or any other Basis DC thread, cares that your kid is at some other school and is--in your personal, unverified opinion--a budding genius effortlessly achieving perfect grades.
