[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I dislike about the not-picked-for-5th-or-6th-and-can-never-attend BASIS DC deal is that it promotes an attitude of patronizing superiority on the part of families involved. The condescension is no secret in neighborhood circles EotP. You hear how kids who attend other DC public middle schools "could never handle" the BASIS HS curriculum. One of my children, a DCPS student, takes MS GT science and math classes on-line through JH CTY and Stanford. S/he scored in the high 600s on SATs in 7th grade to make the cut to enroll in these classes. Not buying that BASIS 9th grade work would crush the kid, but then we'll never know.[/quote] Who the heck are you associating with? I'm on the Hill with a kid in Basis and I never hear any of this. If anything, all I hear are complaints about how the building and how awful it is for students.[/quote]
