[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh my god. Is it time for this thread, which started off as an innocent sharing of useful data, to end?

So many things can be true at the same time:

Some families choose BASIS because they don't like their IB school
Some families prefer their DCPS school or lottery into another and prefer that over BASIS
Some people don't like BASIS because it's too rigorous.
Some people who like rigor still don't choose BASIS for other reasons.

All of these things are absolutely true.

BASIS is such a flashpoint. I think it's because those who go wonder if the pros justify the cons, and those who didn't go wonder if they are missing an opportunity, so everyone is in a constant internal debate about it that bleeds out onto DCUM whenever any remotely relevant thread. It's possible that BASIS has the most challenging math and science classes in DC and no other school can match that. It's also possible that the building is inhumane, the teacher turnover is alarming, and that it's missing other basic elements of a complete school experience. [/quote]

Unfortunately the rabid Basis boosters created this entire derail based on a passing reference to the school. So incredibly immature. [/quote]
