[quote=Anonymous]And now to bring this thread full circle... There is none of the Basis agita in Arizona, because Arizona has so much more school choice. Many districts let you pupil place into any public. There are a lot of magnet school options. It's rare to be shut out of any charter that you wanted. Private schools tend to be much more affordable. The weird Basis boosting/hating dynamic in DC is because people have so few decent options. If you're unlucky in the lottery, you're shut out from Basis completely. If you wanted Latin or didn't think Basis would be a good fit, but were only somewhat lucky in the lottery, you might be stuck at Basis and resentful that you couldn't get what you wanted. If you try Basis and it's a bad fit, your options to leave are much more limited. Private schools are prohibitively expensive for many. [/quote]
