[quote=Anonymous]I grew up going to urban schools in the southwest and while I can't speak specifically to BASIS, I can attest to the fact that they have their share of problem students in the southwest as well - particularly mexican gangs - Surenos and other cholos trying to work drug trade and assert control. We had our share of fights, gang wars, violence and drugs going on in the southwest. It's not as though southwestern schools are lilywhite and full of nothing but well-behaved, naive and backward, Bible-readin' white folks, it's not as though they have never had to deal with any problems. Meanwhile, on the scale of urban grit factor, DC has nothing on a lot of other, bigger US cities - DC's nothing really that special in terms of urban problems, others have faced far worse than what DC faces.[/quote]
