[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re painting with too broad a brush. It’s far from ideal for kids/teens to spend at least 40 hrs a week on a cramped, dreary campus with little natural light and no greenery. Come on, the cafeteria has black walls and no windows. [b]But it’s true that some tolerate the arrangement far better than others. [/b]That’s the story with BASIS DC in the big picture. [/quote] That's why the best situation is when all those who don't like the school leave.[/quote] I don’t agree. When it’s the BASIS way or the highway in every case, kids suffer. It’s good when clued-in parents with some chutzpah stick around to push back against seriously unreasonable or sloppy management decisions, policies and practices. The routine hiring of MS teachers with no real content background or teaching experience is one. Recent parental pressure has been efffecting welcome change in that area.[/quote]
