[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard that there are two kids at BASIS now who attended Sidwell last year.  Don't know how to confirm it since I don't know the family.  Any Sidwell parents care to share whether they lost two to BASIS?

Anyway, if true, I guess this piece of information pretty mush settles the issue.[/quote]

The only way this could happen:

1.  Kids were expelled from Sidwell.
2.  They have a parent who works for Basis.
3.  Family can no longer afford Sidwell or another private school.

While it's possible that parents will choose a charter over private school for early elementary and/or the charter provides something unique like Yu Ying, I can't image a parent choosing Basis over Sidwell.  So I doubt the rumor that it's happened.[/quote]

Here are other options:

4. They felt that the accelerated curriculum at BASIS would better prepare their children for college.
5. They felt that their children would be better served by a school with more AA kids.

Do your children attend Sidwell?  Do you have any real information?

I could certainly confirm that the rumor is true by asking around at BASIS, but I would never be able to prove it to your satisfaction without revealing the identities of the children.  So, it is a moot point.
