[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dream on. The bad building is here to stay and the franchise doesn’t seem to want a significantly bigger DC HS.  Also, just not the case that every BASIS middle school student would be bored at Latin. Far from it, humanities instruction is better overall at, at Latin, particularly language instruction. BASIS middle school students who aren’t ready for 7th grade algebra (many) find greener math pastures at Latin along with better facilities and a happier environment. Comparative PARCC scores don’t tell the whole story. [/quote]

But your unsupported statements with zero evidence don’t tell any story at all.[/quote]

Frankly, the comparative length of the 5th grade Latin WL is sufficient evidence for many parents. I'm the rare parent who's had kids in both middle schools. Our family was happier with Latin for its better facilities, leadership, spirit, community, extra curriculars and more experienced and stable teaching force. That said, neither of my children, both high performers, wanted to stay on in their middle school charter for high school.[/quote]

Where did they end up going?[/quote]
