[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody denying that nobody has to put up with BASIS being a bully towards public school parents.

Good friends bailed from BASIS to Stuart Hobson and DCI. Their children are at Walls now. Most of the BASIS families who tried to get out via Walls failed, although their kids were A students throughout middle school. We also know kids who went from Jefferson Academy to Walls, and Eliot-Hine to Banneker.[/quote]

OK? What is your point?

I have 99th percentile kids. I prefer BASIS middle school to SH, Eliot-Hine, DCI and Jefferson Academy because it's the only school among those options that will give them appropriately challenging material to learn. It's incredible how much the kids are learning.

I totally recognize that other families will make different choices, as they should. Why are you so bothered by my choice?

[/quote] Not an honest question. You come here painting with too broad a brush, claiming that BASIS serves the brainiest well across the board. Not our experience. We should've left earlier, before my kids' friends departed for other high schools (none for Banneker), before BASIS shot down my kid's request to take an AP language in 9th grade. He took the exam elsewhere, scored a 5. At his new school, he was permitted to skip AB Calc for BC Calc, just like I was at Hunter as a teen. I'm bothered by false advertising and poor treatment of students for my tax dollars. [/quote]

Woah!   You thought they would let your kid take an AP language in 9th?   That is on you.   Their attitude on this is fully documented.   Sounds like you didn’t research well. [/quote]
