[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wrong. I’m the PP and I’ve lived on the Hill since the 90s. We’ve only stayed because grandparents offered to pay for a private. Otherwise, we’d have moved to VA by now. We turned down a BASIS spot after much deliberation. [/quote]

So you're in the BASIS thread but your kid never went to BASIS?[/quote]

This thread is about whether BASIS should be allowed to hoover up more taxpayer dollars for its shareholders by expanding its program. If we're going to trying to say who should and shouldn't be bothering with this, current BASIS parents should take a walk, because you're already there.

Current parents can love BASIS all they want, the question is do we want more of this profiteering in our public school system?  [/quote]

Some of us also have younger kids who might benefit from having a BASIS model elementary option, so, I’m not going to take a walk, thank you very much. The school model is absolutely wrong for many, probably most, kids, but it’s a huge help to some kids, and having it as an option for those kids is really great, which is exactly what the charter school system is designed to do. The for-profit corporation issue is important, but it doesn’t make sense to write off the school or potential elementary expansion because of that. [/quote]
