[quote=Anonymous]It’s been hard to distinguish complaints about the school model and facility shortcomings from complaints with the HoS.  It’s unclear what any HoS could or should do differently when it comes to the BASIS curriculum, which is implemented nationally by the charter network, right?  And what could or would any HoS do about the facilities problem?  The complaint about good teachers leaving perhaps could have to do with school management but teacher turnover is just so common right now, isn’t it hard to gauge the reasons they leave?  (Unless teachers specifically complain to parents about the reasons).

A better building would allow for better ECs through the school, which in turn would take up less time for families to deal with after school, which in turn frees up more time for getting the HW and studying done each night.  The BASIS model doesn’t leave so much extra room for interests outside of school, especially when those interests require driving across DC.  A better building would presumably solve for some of this, and make for a much happier overall experience, with more outdoor time and space for students and families to congregate and socialize.

We have the impression that the HoS does recognize the need for a better building and would pursue any feasible possibility if one arises.  Who knows if/when this could happen, but it would solve so many problems at once.[/quote]
