[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you sent your kid to a MS with weak facilities, enrichment and extra curriculars and teachers and staff who aren't paid well enough to stick around for many years. If he were at a MS in Fairfax or maybe MoCo or Arlington, he'd have a good library and computer lab to haunt in search of inspiration. He's probably have access to a robotics lab, band and orchestra sessions during class time, a serious chess club, debate club, a range of languages to choose from, school musicals to get involved with etc. His teachers and school counselor would probably be more experienced than at BASIS. BASIS was too short on fun, staff cohesion and inspiration for us. I'm an MIT grad who works in STEM. [/quote] The main difference between suburban middle schools, private schools and BASIS is....MONEY. BASIS doesn't have the resources for much in the way of fun enrichment. Maybe you to invest more in activities for DC, OP, to buck him up.[/quote]
