[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basis is failing their students! Time to call 7 on your side[/quote]

To say that BASIS is failing its students is hardly fair, OP.

I am a BASIS parent, and not on the faculty, so I have only limited insight into what's going on.

My impression, though, is that kids who came in at or above grade level in reading and math are doing well at BASIS, and those who came in a bit below grade level are surviving, perhaps barely, with pull-out remediation.

However, those kids who came in years below grade level in reading or math are failing their classes. It's possible that the parents of those kids are pulling them out in droves now that the second grading period is over.  I just don't know.

In all fairness to BASIS, how are they supposed to educate a middle schooler who reads at a second or third grade level? How about one who can barely multiply numbers?

DCPS failed these students years ago, but hid it through a process of social promotion.  Again, to attribute the failure to BASIS is hardly fair. [/quote]
