[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are at a crossroads to make some relocation decisions for next year. What middle schools in the city are actually decent? like you would feel comfortable sending your kiddo there. Seems like at least BASIS, Deal, Hardy (which all seem hard to waitlist into). What else?[/quote]

Everyone's will be different, but I thought BASIS, Deal, Hardy and Latin are great options. (We ended up at one of these).

DCI no because of the screens in middle school.

John Francis, ITDS, Stuart Hobson yes with math/science supplementation over the summer.[/quote]

Now hang on a sec. Do these other middle schools not use screens in middle school? At all? How/when?

[/quote]

My kid is in middle school at BASIS and doesn't use screens. All homework is handwritten, all notetaking in class is handwritten, and this year even essays are handwritten. (Last year they let them type).

The teachers sometimes offer quizzes on platforms like Blooket but these are just optional, never for a grade.

I think the students get chromebooks starting in 8th grade so I don't know what happens at that point. But handwritten notetaking is a HUGE part of the school culture so I assume that continues. It's actually incredible how much the students are able to learn. [/quote]
