[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give us a break. Perfect schools have.....gyms, playing fields, libraries and librarians, stages & auditoriums, computer labs, music programs and more. If the logic I'm following makes me a BASIS-hating troll, I am one.

Sorry to hear your disgruntled opinion and even sorrier that you can't stand the fact that my child is happy and yours was not. There in lies your problem. I'm no booster. I can see the negatives of BASIS but if my child likes it, I'll take it.

It has no gym nor library, but MLK is around the corner and DD spends more time there than your child has every spent in a school library. It has a great location for us. When Shaw MS was taken away from us, DCPS told us to send our child to Cardozo MS, the worst performing MS in the city, and help make it a better neighborhood MS. That was our final straw. We are very happy with BASIS. My DD loves the learning of new subjects such as classics and Latin. She has met kids from all over the city. This year has been a great experience and she will look back at it very fondly.[/quote]

We felt the same way in 5th grade. By 7th, we were starved for rigorous academics, good facilities, a strong school community, and enrichment in one package. If you can afford independent school, or are willing to move to the burbs to do better than BASIS, you bail. Go away boosters in denial.[/quote]
