[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a current parent of two BASIS students, both of whom will be in high school by the time the BASIS elementary opens.

I don't want a town hall on how wonderful this new school will be.  I really don't care.

I really just want reassurance that this won't impact my kids, including by diverting human and financial resources away from attracting quality high school teachers and supporting my kids in high school.

Frankly, BASIS' overall prestige will depend more on how it supports MY kids in high school, as demonstrated by their test scores and college admissions, than on anything else BASIS does.  And the success of the elementary school will also depend on that, since the main reason Capitol Hill and others families will enroll is to secure a spot in a school with a strong high school path.

In the meanwhile, BASIS admins, please don't waste my time by hosting some happy, cheery kindergarten teacher from Arizona on a town hall to talk about how wonderful her classroom is.  Again, I don't care.

I agree with you totally. They didn't take the time to think of what audience they were inviting and speaking to. Most families at BASIS would want to know the impact and opportunities for their own kids but few if any BASIS families have kids in 5-12 AND kids who will be rising Kers in 2 years.
