[quote=Anonymous]The folks who've posted here who say they are BASIS grads still haven't told us which public or charter school they could have gone to that would have been better - because there wasn't any better option, BASIS was the best they had.  There's always going to be one or two people who find something they don't like.

No, BASIS isn't for everyone, it is what it is and doesn't pretend to be a one-size-fits-all, if anything they have been nothing but honest and up-front about what their expectations are and how they operate - and for many hard-working, high achievers who are good at math, it is an excellent option.

Would you send your kid to St. Coletta and demand AP Calculus, or to Roots and demand AP European History?  Go to Yu Ying and complain about Chinese?  You could, but it makes no sense.  BASIS is pretty clear and up-front in their mission and goals where it comes to things like math and organizational skills, so why would you sign up to go there if your child hates math and you have no interest in organizational skills?   It's not a good fit, and just doesn't make sense.

Check GreatSchools and other sites, there are lots who think BASIS is a great school, for whom BASIS is a great fit.  Our DS loves BASIS DC, and for him it works - but for others, your mileage may vary, depending on individual preferences and interests.

Nobody here is trying to make the other specialized public and charter schools into something they aren't, so stop trying to do it to BASIS.[/quote]
