[quote=Anonymous][quote]Jeez, this is the 4th Basis thread to spring up in 2 weeks. Another runs more than 30 pages. The same arguments and observations are being recycled ad nauseum. The jury is still out on so much. It's the demographics of the Arizona Basis suburbs that rattle me -those suburbs look like the Deal district. I don't doubt that the down to earth parents attending these meetings and their progeny will be up to the challenge, it's the ones who aren't turning up that I'm concerned about, the ones with kids scoring below basic.

My question for the PP who started this thread is, what are your MS alternatives? If it's Stuart Hobson or Hardy, Basis. If it's Deal or Latin, maybe not. [/quote]

They need these threads because someone in their organization is slowly realizing that DC is not Tucson and they are going to need to think in new ways to reach their promises. Not to say they can't make it work in DC, but there is some sort of critical struggle between the boosters who want to recreate Tucson here (while misunderstanding that we are not Tucson in DC) and those who want to serve the population we have without suggesting that the population of students we have are not capable of achieving due to their challenges.

Frankly, it is a painful discussion if you care about kids.[/quote]
