[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's always so interesting how these BASIS threads go. Every thread brings out a cohort of posters who cannot stop themselves from maligning the school. Some people have legit complaints based on actual experiences and facts (and you can tell who they are) but many have no idea what they're talking about and simply accuse others of being boosters when they get called out. Of all the problems this city has with education, it's unbelievable how much energy people seem to spend dumping on this school. [/quote]

These threads also always include someone busting out the following as proof of BASIS superiority:
-- math PARCC scores, though it's been pointed out many times that BASIS, unlike every other school in DC, has students take tests based on what grade they're in rather than based on the most recent course completed
-- some random link to national rankings with a questionable methodology

As an outsider, I find the BASIS boosters and bashers equally obnoxious.[/quote]
