[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are they not following the law?  They aren't excluding anyone.  But,, they are setting an expectation of achievement and mastery of  the material.  If you don't master the material, they make tutoring available, and if you still don't master it, you repeat it.  That's not excluding anyone.  If you don't want kids to master the material, there are other worthless DC schools that make that their expertise.  No need to turn Basis into another worthless DC school.

You evidently think schools should be sued for having the audacity to actually try and educate and actually try and get students to master the content.  That's pretty far out of kilter.  You need to go back and learn what the purpose of a school is.[/quote]

Suit-happy "vim and vigor" needs go back and study that definition repeatedly until he or she finally gets the fact that schools exist to [b]instruct[/b], not to coddle and babysit. [/quote]
