 The BASIS way serves the gifted kids while humiliating the ones who aren't so gifted. Still, they deserve an education that doesn't include using them as fodder for what is ultimately a scheme to get a private-school level education at public expense for parents who want to seem open-minded and unbiased, but really aren't.

Basis most certainly is [u]not[/u] proposing to humiliate anyone. First of all, [u]all[/u] of the info sessions outlined their advanced curricula in detail. Second, Basis is providing extensive tutoring right now to all students who want it. In fact, they encouraged all students to participate. Third, Basis will be offering tutoring everyday prior to school and afterschool all year for any student who needs it. Lastly, Basis does not counsel anyone out.

Anyone who signs up their student should know that students will have to work in order to succeed. Therefore, IMO parents and students need to be responsible for their choices instead of blaming others for their own failures especially when extensive supports are offered.

A rigorous academic course is not for everyone. Thank goodness DC has school choice!!! [/quote]
