[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, because they left [i]after [/i]8th grade. The unhappy students tend to leave sooner.  Not too difficult to look back on BASIS fondly once you've left and not always easy to attend a school without space to run around or all that much in the way of enrichment (no music program bothered us most). My kids are thriving post BASIS in a way they didn't in the program. Not uncommon.[/quote]

Um okay?  I have plenty of kids from other MSs that do not look back fondly.  They make it sound like a sh**show.  I get that you don’t like Basis, but these kids have diverse experiences at the school and don’t complain about their time there.[/quote]

It's a fair point. From what I observed, kids who leave BASIS after 6th or 7th often end up at privates or in the burbs. Presumably, you're not teaching those kids.

NP.  Just chill out.  Obviously this teacher doesn't teach every kid who leaves BASIS.  The teacher's point is that the kids she has taught didn't leave BASIS because they were unhappy.[/quote]

This! Plus, you are comparing apples to oranges by suggesting that kids who leave the DCPS system are happier than kids who remain. I don't think anyone other than your ilk are or ever suggested BASIS was the best school ever. That's a construct and red herring created by you. [/quote]
