[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have commuted 2 miles to BASIS from our house in the upper grades if they'd been teaching things our DCPS doesn't seem to offer.  These include hard enough math, serious writing instruction and well-taught science classes.  My kid has hardly learned a thing in 5th grade in DCPS.  She had a lot of fun with her friends of many years, but that was about it.

Be careful what you wish for, CH parents of little kids.  If BASIS opens a K-4 campus, the odds of your kids being admitted to their 5th-12th grade program are going to plummet in short order.

My kids go to a Hill ES that folks use. The chatter in the playground about this expansion is almost uniformly negative. Parents know exactly how bad this is. The only people in favor are the IB MS ideologue supporters… and I totally get why they’re excited.[/quote

"..that folks use.."  By definition, every school is one that "folks" use. I assume you mean "highly educated parents." If so, please say that.
