[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also removing my children from BASIS DC.  My children were not safe from bullying in the school and people in charge are dismissive and don't seem to care children getting bullied. [/quote]

The feeling I get after a few visits to Basis is that the kids run the show there.  I would much prefer a place where the adults set the tone and are clearly in charge rather than one where they react to kid behavior exclusively.  I think it leads to a more mature atmosphere.  Seems to me the basis tries to create a school culture by holding dances for 5th graders and electing "most intelligent" and "best dressed" in their middle school yearbook rather than ongoing discussions about character and values.  It may come out in more nasty behavior among the students.[/quote]

My child is off to Washington Latin.  BASIS DC is a mess.  I agree that children ran the show at this place. The Head of School (Paul Morissey) was a puppet for my kid.  My husband and I want a place where responsible and ethical adults are in charge, not children.  [/quote]
