[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know there are lot of folks out there who feel we're doing our children a disservice if we send them to any school other than a private or BASIS. I mean we've already been told in some other threads that our children are doomed and will never be attractive to an Ivy, MIT or Stanford if we don't send them to Blair (or TJ). Basically, the consensus is that even Banneker and Walls are inferior. Wilson? Forgetaboutit.

It's a good thing we're all anonymous here or these fine upstanding citizens would call CFS on us for educational neglect.[/quote]

Any other school but a private or Basis?  I haven't heard that here - the threads here talk about lots of good schools in DC.  It's just that preferences vary from one parent to the next.  Some want more of a focus on athletics or other aspects.  Maybe Basis is a good choice for one kid, maybe Banneker or Walls is a good choice for the next kid.  Not all kids are the same, not all parents' desires for their children are the same. The only "disservice" would be in sending kids through a system where they can graduate illiterate.  That is less likely to happen in the charters and better DCPS schools.[/quote]
