[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More like trying to disguise their demographics. BASIS enrolls few poor minority  kids by design. [b]Few can handle the curriculum [/b]and those who enroll aren’t given the structure or support (e.g intensive remediation and Saturday school like at KIPP) for that to change.[/quote]

OMFG. Did you just say the quiet part out loud? You really just straight up typed that "few minority kids can handle the curriculum". [/quote]

And yet, this is true in the District of Columbia as of November, 2022.  Borne out by reams of current testing data, rates of drop out, absence statistics, graduation statistics, and importantly all the assessment data collected on younger kids who would form the cohort of a BASIS entry class.

All of the above is batched by race and Hispanic-non Hispanic.

Now if you point is that the curriculum should be tailored to meet DC's poor minority children to "meet them where they are" in 4th grade, then I guess I agree with you.  We could do some things that would water down the curriculum so a larger group of DC kids could handle it. But as it exists now?  PP was honest and accurate.

Prove me wrong using any data you have. [/quote]
