[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these BASIS v EH/SH/any other inbound middle school arguments are ridiculous. The schools are nothing alike. Why would the same people who want an inbound middle school want BASIS?

The real issue is that people want a middle school that is a combination of BASIS and IB middle schools, and that doesn't exist outside of maybe Deal (though I don't think Deal measures up, tbh).

Inevitable clusterf*** of every thread that mentions BASIS. I understand why BASIS families focus on and defend BASIS; they attend the school so there's a built in reflex to defend your own. Plus they want the school to continue on its current trajectory. What confuses and confounds is all the energy people NOT at BASIS expend in order to...what? There's a couple of these rocket scientists who frequent this forum who openly admit they don't have a kid there and don't want to but they feel strongly that everyone needs to know they don't think it is a good school. Or if it is a good school, it is only because [insert confounding explanation here].

Why don't these people spend their time focusing on the schools their kids attend? Or the schools they want to improve? Or do they think that taking shots at BASIS is going to magically make EH/Jefferson/etc. better.  [/quote]
