[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I have friends who have quit KIPP mid-year because it has become the third Reich. Here's a link for parents who are interested in what actually goes on in many charter schools across the country.

If BASIS was all that it is supposed to be, why don't the really wealthy send their children there? Most wealthy people send their children to public or private.

Agree with yo 100%, PP.  Thanks for this clear-eyed post. The wealthy send their kids to school in buildings with gyms, libraries, and stages surrounded by greenery.[/quote]

I'm a wealthy person who could afford private but intend to send my kids to BASIS if we can lottery in.  If I couldn't afford private school, I would be even more grateful that BASIS existed as an option.   I've looked at the alternatives, and I don't see clearly better options for my children, public or private.  If you don't feel that way, that's fine, choose a different school, we probably have different criteria. [/quote]

I taught at BASIS DC, lasted one year in that joyless building. Get back to us after several years with no library, gym, performance space, academic tracking outside math or outdoor space and several different heads, wealthy guy. Most of the strongest students are leaving before HS.[/quote]

I envision this one year at BASIS teacher as Sadness from Inside Out  :cry: [/quote]
