[quote=NathanBacaABC7][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am wondering why these schools are making news now. When many of us sent how BASIS was fixing grades, no one seemed interested back then.[/quote] As the reporter said, they need hard evidence or folks willing to go on the record![/quote] I cannot speak about BASIS since that was likely before my time at ABC7, but I can say the entire DCPS scrutiny came because of the whistleblower decision of one former Ballou teacher who decided to bring with her thousands of documents. Those documents could not be ignored. Since then, two other teachers have come forward to me. One was from Columbia Heights (CHEC). She showed that Ballou was not the only one. The second teacher was from Howard Charter, showing how that sector had similar problems. The Somerset interviews did not have documents, but had told us repeatedly the documentary problems from other schools were mirrored at their own.[/quote]
