[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really.

What happens is that someone says something mildly favorable about BASIS and then the handful of BASIS haters start posting about how the schools doesn't have a library, gym, theater stage, sport fields, etc.  Then BASIS boosters respond, pointing out how that critique is wrong, stupid, irrelevant, etc.

Why is this?  My guess is that because a lot of kids drop out of BASIS, the parents have grudges, axes to grind, etc., and think that they need to bash BASIS to rationalize the fact that their kid couldn't handle it.  You don't see that kind of vitriol with other schools because those schools socially promote and thus don't have the same attrition.  BASIS boosters then correctly point out that the haters are spewing bad information.

People interested in BASIS should just ignore DCUM and do their own research. [b] For the right sort of academically minded kid, it is a great option in DC.[/b][/quote]

A great option compared to what?  Stuart Hobson, Jefferson Academy or Eliot Hine?  I'll give you that.  Arguably, even the most academically minded kids deserve better than BASIS.  They certainly can't have better in DC public schools in terms of rigor and AP prep, so that observation is neither here nor there.[/quote]
