[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a (mostly content) Basis parent to a current 6th grader it is always very interesting to see the rage that Basis engenders in some parents (of non Basis students and a few former Basis students). In my experience the math and science instruction has been top notch (this is after coming from Brent, which is no slouch in these departments). English has been a bit perplexing for me, since it has been so heavily focused on grammar, and not much expository writing (but teachers have been very good both 5th and 6th). Social studies/history - the content is great - the teachers vary. Latin has been super solid teaching both years. [/quote] Parent of middle schoolers and I would mostly agree with this. Grammar instruction was non-existent at our DCPS elementary (not Brent) so I don’t mind the heavy emphasis at Basis.[/quote]
