[quote=Anonymous][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. [/quote] Better served by a school with more AA kids? Such B.S. - the AA kids at Sidwell test in; at Basis, they waltz in. Some can hardly read but still get two years to "catch up" despite the fact that there's no real hope that they will (they were a tad behind the Sidwell crowd in preschool and are now miles behind). My Basis 5th grader can be relied on to attest to these simple truths. We'd be at Sidwell, or St. A, GDS, Maret etc. in a minute if we could afford it and we're guess what, AA. We look forward to 7th grade, when the kids who can't handle the curriculum should be gone (not that they should be there now). [/quote]
