[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BASIS generates these conversations because prospective parents are trying to determine fit before filling out their lottery cards, [b]while current parents are trying to prevent voluntary attrition by high-achievers[/b]. The result is constant demand for candid assessments, and bottomless energy to deny every alleged weakness. And round we go.[/quote]

What???!!! That's round the bend conspiracy theory even for DCUM. Where, exactly, are all of those "high-achievers" going to go for MS? MS parents don't care about attrition until 9th when they would prefer more kids stick around for HS.

By and large BASIS parents aren't claiming perfection. They like the school. It does a great job for their kids. It is not a good fit for every kids and every single BASIS parent will tell you that. Noteworthy of recent the best BASIS haters can do is "it isn't as good as [insert NY application schools] [insert suburban schools] [insert TJ].

People like you are so very odd. I know why BASIS parents are invested in the school. Why are YOU so invested in trying to take the school down a peg? Why does it anger you that people like the school? Respectfully, you might want to examine your own insecurities.      [/quote]

I’m not trying to take the school down a peg. I know a bunch of great kids there. I’m just explaining the dynamic on here. [b]Current parents want as many kids as possible to stay for high school[/b], prospective parents are trying to get candid info to determine fit. That’s the dynamic. [/quote]

My lord. You think BASIS families are on DCUM speaking to other BASIS to convince them to remain? That's bananas.

Well then, why are you here?[/quote]
