[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6th grade BASIS parent here. Do I feel sad that the facilities suck? yes, I do. Is my kid learning things above and beyond any other public DC middle, yes he is. Does it suck to not have a proper auditorium, yes it does. BASIS is for strong academic content. Nothing else. If this is what you and your kid want, then BASIS is for you. It's not that complicated.[/quote] Some of us want both strong academic content and also things like on site performing arts and athletic opportunities. Which is also pretty simple. OP's premise was that BASIS "fills a gap that shouldn't exist" meaning the lack of academically challenging MS and HS (but especially MS) options in DC, especially outside upper NW. That's true. The problem that many of us are articulating is that it doesn't fill this gap particularly well. There is still a huge gap.[/quote] Other institutions need to step up. [/quote]
