[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp, if you are not a parent of a student or former student at Basis , why are you reading this thread, let alone replying to it?[/quote]

I am not the pp you are chiding.  I am the parent of a dcps fourth grader, and I found this point of comparison wrt silent lunches relevant as I consider whether DC should apply to BASIS.  Maybe it's a good thing that BASIS takes strong action by mposing silent lunches; maybe it is indicative of a particullarly unruly student body.  Something to think about...

That said, I know BASIS is a great choice for many students..

I think it shows a culture that doesn't respect students.  I am not interested in an authoritarian school.  So this info is helpful to me (though I wasn't considering Basis anyway because accelerated academics isn't what i want - I want deep learning and love for learning - could care less about test scores, including the SAT.  Kids can miss the basics of a k-12 education but still thrive in higher ed IF they are curious and want to learn.  I know because this was me).[/quote]
