[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP FWIW, we faced a similar situation as you and were at a SH feeder. The playground chatter had completely poisoned the well against BASIS for DC to the point that they responded very poorly when they lotteried in. We made a deal with DC that at the end of 5th grade it would be their choice whether to join friends at SH (which we like) or go to BASIS. After the year, they enthusiastically chose to stay at BASIS.

(This is not to say we are blind to the limits the BASIS experience, especially at the HS level. I'm just not gonna engage with that on here given the level of distortion by the detractors)[/quote]

As an EH mom I think that’s great! The amount of projection and accusations and assumptions by people who have no experience in the schools is really ridiculous. And of course all kids are different. In our case I wish the scuttlebutt about Basis hadn’t been so negative because as it turns out I think my kid could have handled it. OTOH EH has been good for my kid on many, many levels I couldn’t have anticipated. [/quote]

I'm deeply glad I didn't let the scuttlebutt deter me, my son is so happy at BASIS and is finally getting the challenging work he was ready for. Hopefully similar parents won't let the naysayers stop them and will make their own decisions![/quote]
