[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It all sounds fantastic, but the reality is that the facilities and resources simply just aren't there to support serious versions of most of these clubs. Musicals, and debates for that matter, are only so good without an auditorium or school orchestra. [b]Cooking isn't too hot without a decent kitchen.[/b] Parents generally must pay for competitors to travel to Yale etc. for Certamen. ASL isn't taught as a language class at BASIS (often the case in suburban middle schools and high schools in this area). Even Science Olympiad isn't all that great without great labs for robotics and research. The clubs are much better than nothing of course, but I'd take it all with a grain of sale if you're interested in BASIS. JR has much more serious ECs overall and so does Walls. My kid rows on the joint JR-Walls crew team out of the Georgetown boat house.[/quote]

Does your kid do competitive cooking too?

Every child's dream is to prepare a delicious croque madame in the Walls/JR rustic French gourmet kitchen before heading out with his crewmates from the Georgetown boathouse.[/quote]

Lol[/quote]
Just hilarious that BASIS doesn't offer more in the way of competitive sports and that the building sucks. Which BASIS family would complain if things were different? Good for Walls and JR for taking advantage of Georgetown's offer to let them use the boathouse (for free).[/quote]

And they don't have a library so students can't even research the sport they would like to play. [/quote]

The library thing is so funny. The central library is right there![/quote]

OP asked about sports at BASIS but you're here taking potshots at posters who've criticized the school for unrelated reasons on other threads. You seriously have nothing better to do?[/quote]
