[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come on, how much joy of learning is there to be had in that joyless building? There isn't even a library or a tree.[/quote] Or a stage. Also, I'm from Virginia. [/quote] Yes, the building stinks, but you have to be pretty shallow to think that a tree and a building make for joyful learning. All I know is that my kid is super happy to go to school every day and appears to be learning a lot. Not sure what else I would want for him.[/quote] Agree with PP. My DD loves going to BASIS and also loves trees. MLK Library is two blocks away. Why would they even try to compete with the best collection in DC? I ask my DD often and the response is always that she wants to stay at BASIS.[/quote] Joyful learning at BASIS? Not nearly enough for us. We bailed for a private last year, two years in. There were far too many inexperienced teachers, too many bullying admins, too many classroom management issues, too little natural light and quiet places to study, and too many policies that were too far out of line with best practices in education. See previous threads on all that, there are quite a few. If you can afford better, you find it eventually. [/quote]
