[quote=Anonymous]I don't hear Latin-bashing, tho there was some a few pages ago.  Both schools are a gift to DC and son had 2 good years at Latin, hard to leave but no choice; it was.  There are differences and I suspect the comparison sheds light and helps steer choices.   I'm glad we made the switch but I also worry.  Both schools have awesome teachers, particularly in science and math, but Latin also had really imaginative assignments, like "wanted" poster for an infectious disease, or a geography word drawn and decorated to look like what it means, like a power-point presentation on Latin words still in use, like an assignment to convey a chapter of a book using any media they choose.  Wonderful creative stuff!  On the other hand, my son tells me all about polysaccharides and such, and has a much easier time keeping track of (and therefore doing) his homework.  There are issues with both schools: Basis needs more order in the hallways and classrooms, Latin wide hallways better allow supervision.  But - Latin's after-school program is a waste whereas at Basis the homework gets done.  On and on, pluses and minuses.  And comparison with other schools would be useful as well, like Deal (overcrowded? orderly? emphasis on mastery or creativity?).[/quote]
