[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would consider Arlington and solid elementary/middle/ and high school path.  It is easy commute to where you will be.

You have to think about middle school and chances are slim to none for the charters.  [/quote]

I'm not moving to Arlington, full stop. We're returning to DC if either of these jobs come through and sticking with the Kingman Park house. I'm aware of the challenges with many DC middle and high schools.[/quote]

Wow. I’m a Hill mom, in bounds for Stuart Hobson and my kid goes to Basis and I would suggest that you move to the burbs. Which is what you don’t want to do so I got nothing else for you. I walk past Stuart Hobson all the time walking my dog and I’m glad my kids don’t go there, though there are some great kids there and the principal seems really really engaged and hardworking. [/quote]

Your reaction to someone saying moving isn’t feasible for the family financially is “wow,” because you view the outside of a school their kids might possibly attend and are glad yours doesn’t go there? You sound like real gem.

Why do these posters always have kids at BASIS? [/quote]

Go back and re-read the post. They said their kid goes to BASIS [b]"and I would suggest that you move to the burbs"[/b].

I have no horse in BASIS or S-H race. Your response of lashing out at BASIS says very little about anyone else and a great deal about you and how you feel about S-H. If you get that triggered by someone else saying they think your school is subpar then maybe time to look in the mirror?

You lashed out at another school and parent. Did it really make you feel better? Did it make S-H a better school?[/quote]

What? My did doesn't go to SH. She literally started her post "Wow" in response to a post about someone not being able to move for financial reasons and said she felt like moving to the burbs was the only option because she didn't like the look of the kids that went to the school from the outside. Seriously, that's what she said. If you don't think that says something about her -- cause I can tell you what that's code for if you can't figure it out -- then I don't know what to tell you. And, yes, the number of parents of BASIS kids on this board who are super judgmental about non-BASIS DC options is insane. It's like they think winning the lottery represents a moral judgment that they are a superior being. It's weird.[/quote]

+1. The previous poster wasn’t even anti BASIS, they talked about locking in a backup plan and the trying for charters from there. This family is moving for 4th. BASIS, which isn’t geographically dependent, doesn’t play in at all except as a future option no one took of the table. Reading this thread to imply that criticizing the BASIS parent — who, btw, brought that up apropos of nothing, because again, 4th grader without BASIS as an option even — was problematic is a choice.[/quote]
