[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No denying that the BASIS building is a misery and the program remains hopelessly cash-strapped. A windowless cafeteria with black walls is a poor substitute indeed for a quiet, pleasant little library or media center staffed by a first-rate professional. If you want teens to zealously plug away on the road to the colleges of their dreams, provide them with minimally acceptable school facilities to do so here in the richest country ever to grace the earth.

The building for my HS alma mater, NYC's Hunter College, is very far from ideal, but it's a veritable palace by comparison. At Hunter, we were taught to challenge, to think for ourselves, to value an assertive student government. BASIS DC students are taught to do as they're told. [/quote]

+1. Like this lyrical post. A high-powered high school w/out a library or student govt is downright creepy![/quote]

BASIS has a student government.  It is so weird how people who know nothing about the school obsess over it.[/quote]

The student government is window dressing, like the parent organization (er, booster club).  [/quote]

You seriously need to get a life and stop blaming others for your mistake.  We get it.  Basis wasn’t a good fit for your children.  It is a shame you couldn’t figure that out before you sent them there.  This is fully on you.[/quote]
