[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The more I learn about BASIS the less appealing it sounds. Too cutthroat and high stress for our family I think. We have PhDs and our kid has been rather bored in DCPS (almost all 4s on every report card since K). Sounds like we will need to go private or move after 5th grade if we don't get into Latin 1 or 2.

You have PhDs but make important life decisions based on anonymous posts you read on DCUM…[/quote]

I'm not the PP you're responding to. Even so, I'm going to ask you to stop being a jerk and a bully on this thread, and, presumably, others related to BASIS.

Why assume that this poster relies entirely on DCUM for info on BASIS? For all you know, they've been to open houses and done a shadow day if that's still an option. They may have talked to a variety of BASIS stakeholders before arriving at the same conclusion.

We turned down BASIS because it didn't seem anything like the happy school you describe.

Go on, slam me, too.[/quote]

NP. Listen to yourself. You know nothing about the school, and yet you feel the need to post in this thread repeatedly. [/quote]

We had a month to research BASIS after lottery results came out, like all the families who were offered a spot. We worked hard to research our decision by talking to admins and many parents, even parents whose children had already graduated. We went to open houses and toured the building. The school just didn't seem like a happy, friendly, healthy place for our bright, hard-working 11 year old. We made alternative middle school plans.

Your nastiness and accusations on this thread aren't good advertising for BASIS.  [/quote]

I am also intrigued that you feel so personally invested in your decision that you feel motivated to continue to post on a forum abut a school you decided not to attend, on a thread asking about how to help a student to who will be attending. I've voluntarily left jobs and continued to post on the topic of the employer. I've been laid off and posted on the topic of the employer (with some animus). But I've never been offered a job, decided not to take it and bene so invested in the employer that I felt the need to let everyone know I turned them down. That's just weird behavior that feels oddly personal.   [/quote]
