[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in our 2nd year at BASIS, and our 6th grader is thriving. Child learned a lot of executive functioning/organizational skills in 5th grade last year, and they complete their 6th grade homework on their own at school (study hall) or have minimal homework or studying at night as they have LOTS of extracurricular activities both via school or in the community. Our child thrives in math/science and loves to read, so BASIS seems to work well for them. I don’t think it’s a perfect school for everyone, but it certainly seems to be great for my kid.

For what it’s worth, I’m so tired of hearing about the school space as I really don’t think it bothers kids as much as it seems to bother some parents. My kid gets plenty of movement throughout the day going from class to class and does tons of activities outside of school, so I have no concern that they are not exposed to being out in the elements or doing other things.

+1.

The school is a public school in downtown DC, people.  Move to Loudon if you want a suburban existence.[/quote]

Nobody here has to listen to anybody telling them to move to the burbs if we want halfway decent school facilities for their tax dollars.[b] I went to a public school downtown in Chicago where we had a basketball court on the roof. BASIS DC could have built one. They couldn't be bothered.[/b] You sound like you went to school in the burbs yourself.[/quote]

So dumb.

You went to a school in downtown Chicago with a basketball court on the roof so you know for a fact that "BASIS DC could have built one" but they "couldn't be bothered."

And you know that how?

And why do you think BASIS wants a basketball court on the roof or that the roof is adapted for such a court?
