[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at BASIS now, and another one at a Montessori elementary school. I cannot imagine having an elementary school experience that is as rigid as BASIS. I think that would suck all the joy out of learning far too early.

Do your research.

They don’t run their ES like they do MS and HS.[/quote]

Who is "they" - BASIS corporate?  Because I am familiar with how the DC BASIS administration runs its MS/HS.  There's nothing wrong with the BASIS model.  There are, however, distinct downsides to how the BASIS model is implemented in DC (weak admin, inexperienced teachers, crappy building, etc.).  There are some very real consequences to those weaknesses, like poor quality teaching (at times), lack of extracurriculars, arbitrary decision-making and an overly harsh atmosphere.

It is because I have seen how BASIS DC runs its MS/HS that I would not send an elementary school kid to BASIS. [/quote]

You are “familiar” with the Basis model?  How so? [/quote]

By having multiple children attending their school over a period of years.   [/quote]

You have had multiple children attend a Basis elementary school over a period of years?

You understand that teaching at an elementary school is different than middle school and high school, right?[/quote]

You are clearly either stupid or have no kids at BASIS. [/quote]

Like we suspected:  you are full of sh*t.[/quote]
