[quote=Anonymous]You guys sound like you don't know what you're missing. I bailed on DC public schools, eight years, in favor of sending my kids to a public middle school in VA, where my ex lives (we share custody). The school gives students much more choice over what they study than BASIS DC does. I don't know this because my kids have attended BASIS; I know it because I taught there at one point.

Language instruction is offered in five languages at my kids' school, along with ASL (American Sign Language) and on-line language classes in a computer lab through a UVA-sponsored program. A dozen languages are offered on-line, through the college level, for those who don't like their options on campus. Kids can test into advanced math and science for 7th and 8th grades. They can also take band, orchestra and chorus as daily classes, and a variety of electives supported by good facilities, Now I deal with counselors and admins who offer us flexibility if I make a good case for flexibility.
