[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Above is right. When I switched my kid from BASIS to an Arlington public ms for 8th grade last year (my ex lives in VA) I realized that I'd been drinking the BASIS Kool-Aid for years. Kid wasn't considered advanced in Arlington, other than for science, although he'd always made 90s Club. In fact, his "intensified" (honors) humanities classes were tougher than any he'd taken at BASIS and he's able to study the language we speak at home at an advanced level in ms. He's also able to play in an advance band at school, so no more running around in search of appropriate language or music inputs. [/quote]

I guess your kid wasn't advanced.

Different poster. If 90s Club isn't advanced, why are you pinning this on the kid? Oh I get it, poster above has touched a nerve. Feeling insecure about the supposedly super duper BASIS curriculum and instruction? You should be.[/quote]

The kid shouldn't be pinned. The mom should be though. She posts this on every BASIS thread, changing the story slightly each time. Ultimately, she has revealed a lot about her poor parenting and it is a blessing for that poor child that her ex now has custody.[/quote]

Pin whomever you want. I'm far from convinced that BASIS DC is offering rigor beyond what normal suburban middle schools in upscale suburbs deliver.  Why do I get the feeling that you post on every BASIS thread slamming anybody who points out this inconvenient truth?  Carry on.[/quote]

And there are many who just want a similar level of rigor in a DC school and aren’t zoned to Deal. I don’t know why you think you are making some magical sort of revelation.[/quote]
