[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speak for yourself. My spouse and I attended MS/HS magnet programs in other cities and often compare BASIS to our schools (privately).

We pulled our kid out after 7th grade for many reasons (his inability to handle the curriculum not being one of them). He's much happier, and more challenged, away from uptight BASIS.[/quote]

You miss the point. Which is that unless someone is deciding between their houses in Boston or DC finding schools not here to compare to BASIS (or any other DC option) is a meaningless thought exercise. If your goal is trolling DCUM or you have an axe to grind against BASIS I guess I understand it, but otherwise it's silly to claim a DC school isn't as good as (Westchester, Exeter, TJ) a school that is not an option as it does nothing to contribute to a discussion about which schools people who live in DC may or should select. Spoiler alert, DC schools are also not as good as Sidwell, Exeter, GDS, Andover, etc. Most people are not deciding between SWW, BASIS and those schools.

Also borderline hilarious that you pulled your kid out of BASIS in favor of a parochial school...and you fail to comprehend how that's not a statement about BASIS as compared to other DCPS/DCPCS schools.

I'm truly happy for you that you found something that works for your kid. I would not send my kid to a religious school because I think religion is a scam and schools with religious backgrounds are a problem for a number of reasons. You know what? That's ok for me, and it is ok for you to disagree and send your kid there if it works for you and matches your belief system. Why are you not able to grasp that a school that worked for your kid isn't a good fit for others, and vice versa? Why are you so defensive about BASIS such that you feel the need to indict it across the board, instead of just accepting it wasn't a good fit for your kid?    [/quote]
