[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BASIS needs no selling because the parents of hundreds of Ward 5 and 6 public school 4th graders are desperate for a public MS offering good discipline and academic rigor.  They're happy to put up with the bad building, weak electives, and a slew of green admins and teachers.

I'm happy with it. My kid is coming from an elementary with a beautiful building, but couldn't enjoy it because kids would throw the beautiful chairs in the classroom at each other. My kid already has outside extracurriculars, so the extra curriculars aren't really an issue, and he's already had the experience of great teachers and not-so-great teachers. Most parents do years of research before lotterying into Basis, so none of this is a surprise and they already know if the school will be a good fit. It sounds like the trolls in this thread were lazy and didn't do any research at all, or joined in the years the school just started and had no idea what to expect. I suspect the former, tbh. I also bet they don't know their kid either, so of course their experience would be a disaster.[/quote]
