Haha. Are you the frequent BASIS and Latin basher who doesn’t even have kids in middle school yet? [/quote]

Not the PP you're responding to. The comment you're assailing was reasonable. Some consider Latin's curriculum to belong to different age.

Good thing we have BASIS as an alternative, with a little lottery luck.  My kids are in MS.

Damn, wish this HOS were staying. Can't help but feel she's letting us down.[/quote]

This thread is about BASIS but I guess I’m not surprised that a couple of naysayers take it as a chance to insult Latin, too. That’s DCUM for ya. [/quote]

Get a life. A classics-based curriculum still appeals to some parents, but many of us wish we had a strong modern option in a building with normal school facilities (unlike BASIS DC). I say this as a proud grad of Boston Latin. I'd be happy for my kids to study classical civilizations and languages for a year or so in MS/HS, certainly not six years (7th-12th) like I had to in order to access a strong urban public school.  I'm hardly alone, not in 2019.

Our public middle school options in this city EotP are only so hot. Really too bad about the BASIS DC head leaving so suddenly.[/quote]
