[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're still at BASIS. Give us a break, no kid is a good fit for the bad building or the way BASIS DC does business. 3 heads in 4 years hasn't worked well. You make the best of the program whether you stay or go, for lack of a better public school option. No more to say.  Move on.[/quote]

When I read stuff like this I marvel at how different my kid's experience is.  Are we the outliers or are you??  I am in awe of the breadth of material my 7th grader has covered/learned this year.   The physics/Bio/chem is stuff I didn't see until high school.  Legit learning is going on there.  And - hasn't the current head been HOS for almost three years now?  FWIW I think he is pretty darn good - very calm, cool and collected - sure he is "young" but he knows what he is doing and doesn't let (older) parents push him around.  Good for him! [/quote]

What grade is your kid in? This HS parent considers the current HOS to be an intellectually challenged jerk and an ass, the worst we've dealt with. We didn't have a better option before now, so we've put up with the whole shebang (without defending it to the hilt like many here). Your kid eats lunch in a cafeteria with no windows and learns in a building with little natural light. We're thrilled to be moving on to a lovely private with stellar academics, facilities and ECs on good fi aid.

The legit science learning, yes.[/quote]
