[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. The Basis parents seem strangely attached to the fact that the school worked out for their kid. 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]

Pfft. These threads are 95 percent parents who hate BASIS, despite not have any first hand experience with the school. For some reason, DCUM loves to hate BASIS. [b]I think it's jealousy of BASIS's outcomes.[/b] [/quote]

This is a good example of what I mean. Also, it's not even really responding to my question. You're just complaining about jealous Basis "haters." [/quote]

Your suggestion that this thread is fully of BASIS parents defending the school is plainly wrong. 90 percent of what's written here is by people who clearly have no connection to the school, but hate it anyway for an ever-shifting and often contradictory number of reasons. I'm curious what it is about this tiny school for nerds that inspires so much venom. It seems highly likely that if BASIS was sending their kids to crappy universities no one would care about it. We don't have 40 pages threads about why Roosevelt High School is so bad. And no, I'm not a BASIS parent. [/quote]
