[quote=Anonymous]I appreciate this. For context, I’m a DCPS high school teacher who has taught many students who “chose to leave” Basis. These kids did well in DCPS (and I have my own beliefs on why that is) on their report cards, and they’ve shared their negative experiences about Basis. It’s not a school for everyone. And based on a couple teacher friends who used to teach there, the concerns are justified.

Yet here I am: desperate parent. We’re hoping our kid will be a motivated enough student to take on the challenges and thrive at Basis, if given the opportunity. After teaching 12 years in DCPS in middle and high school, I can say wholeheartedly that the bar is on the floor and I wouldn’t allow my own kid in a DCPS school. Haha. No.

It’s either luck in the lottery, making serious lifestyle sacrifices to do private, or moving. Leaving our house and friends, even for a suburb 10 mins away, would be painful.

Again, I really appreciate the direct response!  It rarely happens here.
