[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a good idea.

OP, if you aren't willing or able to sell up and go, rent out your place/rent in-boundary for Deal, Hobson or Hardy, pay for private school, or home school, and can't find a public alternative mid year, chances are good you're stuck at BASIS. In fact, chances are good you're also stuck there for 6th grade, in a city in the throes of something of a public MS catastrophe.

You might just want to work with your kid on surviving/not stressing out.  What about hiring a homework buddy/academic organizer college student type?  What about doing some of the kid's homework assignments with/for him so he can chill?  What about getting an on-line subscription to a math tutor in India?  This stuff has been done before BASIS parents eager to see kids get enough sleep and fun time.[/quote]

Am I the only person who thinks this is Bizarro-land?

Seriously?  The OP has a problem with middle school and your go to is "if you aren't willing or able to sell up and go, rent out your place..."

As if serious people talk this way?

If only we were in Bizarro-land.  A neighbor bailed on Stuart Hobson in Oct, sold her house and bought another in Fairfax in the span of two weeks.  A friend in NE rents a studio in the Deal District for an in-boundary address - she rents it out on AirBnB on weekends.  An Africa immigrant family we know went with the beginning Chinese track at DCI for lack of a better option (they were hoping for French, which they speak at home, but no spots).

Can't say if these are serious people.  Can say they are DC residents desperate for a decent public middle school.
