[quote=Anonymous]Yes, because these parents didn't plan ahead as well as they could have. If you want to raise your kids East of Rock Creek, you need a MS and HS contingency plan. If you can't afford private or parochial school and don't get into BASIS or one of the Latins, or don't like them, or they don't work out for you, what's the plan? We hoped for the best at BASIS but youngest, but she miserable there. Academics weren't the problem - she found the work rather easy. There were too many disruptive classmates, too many iffy young teachers, and not nearly enough joy of learning or fun. She missed studying her ES immersion language at school (which we speak at home) and didn't make friends. We've moved to Arlington for the time being, where she enjoys public school again. We've kept our DC place and will return when we can.[/quote]
