[quote=Anonymous]As a Basis parent I really appreciate your insights from experience, PP! I have a kid who will either thrive or crash-and-burn here because he does have a strong quantitative/science bent but without the intense work ethic. After the first six weeks we would still choose Basis hands down but it will be 'interesting'. HOWEVER from what I can glean, many of his classmates only selected Basis as a shiny new object. Self-selecting admissions could work, but only when there is real choice. If there were differentiated really good middle schools, these kids could go to the drama or tech or public service magnet and they'd be far better off. For the kids already familiar with in in-school suspension, those kids are seeking something this small very specific school just can't offer; DCPS (or somebody?) needs to create those other school choices, not all of which need to lead to college.[/quote]
