[quote=Anonymous]I suspect this practice (of purposely using BASIS for a year) is fairly uncommon. I think it’s lousy behavior but rare enough not to worry about. Far more common, though, are parents who take a leap of faith that their relatively lackluster students who needed tutoring in elementary will somehow succeed at BASIS. Such kids inevitably don’t. But typically have their morale and self-confidence damaged over one to several years of challenging middle school before departing for their IB DCPS schools, mediocre privates, where ever. It’s unfortunate. Then the parents come onto DCUM to bash the school (as if having a gym and library would have led to their kid’s success at BASIS).[/quote]
