[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent who is reading DCUM lately to research middle school options for the lottery in the spring, these posts are exhausting. [b]The Basis parents seem strangely attached to the fact that the school worked out for their kid[/b]. Are you just relieved you don't have to worry about middle school or high school despite living in DC? Why are you so quick to write off the people who have bad experiences there? It's not coming off great. I am still considering Basis for my kid next year but this view into the kinds of parents I might encounter if my kid goes there is giving me pause.  [/quote]

For me, it's because this silly forum almost convinced me to dismiss the school. My question was is this school a huge opportunity or would it be a terrible mistake?

Luckily, I had a few IRL conversations (with happy kids, BASIS teachers, and teachers at our neighborhood school) and every single actual conversation pushed us to take the spot.

And now that we are in, I can see there are so many misconceptions and falsehoods about it repeated here, so I feel compelled to counter the falsehoods for the sake of prospective parents. Because for kids who are inclined towards math and science, it really is a huge opportunity. [/quote]
