[quote=Anonymous]I think I am going to go on the MoCo sites of schools I have nice friends at and respect and trash them as well because I wish them well-what? does that sound crazy? Yes, because PEOPLE DON"t DO THAT. I have a child at a MoCo public and at Basis DC (2 parent household with one in DC and one in MoCo) thus have a real reason to be reading and commenting, and I would never do it-be happy where you are at and if you do like people and wish Basis DC well, you wouldn't be writing what you have been and stop looking to stir the pot-I am sure you have loads of more important things to do!

Boost away, but you can't fool all the people all the time.  The school doesn't in fact emphasize hands-on learning.  Sure, it's a stronger academic MS program than almost all the others in the DC public domain, but you boosters are still mired in relativism.  Our new MoCo school has the strongest students working in a green house, building solar powered cars, running an in-school TV station, performing in musicals and jazz concerts etc.   It's hard to "shine" without halfway decent HS facilities, or even much in the way of decor or fun, but I hope some of the BASIS DC scholars will.  Nice bunch of kids a teachers and some very smart and dedicated educators, too.  It's the stifling Arizona model, weak facilities and dearth of cheer and space that aren't so great....

Ummmmm...if you are in a new MoCo school, what the heck are you doing boosting for it on a DC Public School and Charter Forum?[/quote]

We liked some things about BASIS, but disliked more (and rigor was not the problem; we tested into a program for the highly gifted in MoCo). [/b]I think of the BASIS kids and families we got to know and wish everybody the best.   I write what I like, thanks. [b] [/quote]

Well you certainly aren't helping us out (BASIS kids and families) by "writing what you like."  Not everyone has the means to move to Montgomery County.... So glad your family managed to move and find a sweet spot.  No reason to for you to bash BASIS DC if you genuinely like us then you should genuinely want our school to succeed and would not make these kinds of comments....... unless you are what is the DCUM word........ troll.[/quote]

What kind of comments?  Suggesting that more hands-on learning and well-targeted field trips would help BASIS succeed?  That better facilities would improve matters?  That the Arizona model could be better adapted to cultural resource rich DC, and the brutal Metro area elite colleges application pool?  That the kids could really use more arts, space and fun?  That the the parade of Heads of School should end.  Sue me.[/quote][/quote]
