[quote=Anonymous]We bailed from a DCI feeder to BASIS, along with a dozen other families, because the whole DCI feeder-DCI pyramid isn't half as serious academically as it could be. The pyramid has the demographics to aim high without the ambition. Concerns about equity seem to trump rigor at every turn, with social promotion watering down DCI academics like mad. We keep up with language on our own. We just sent our kid to a Concordia MN immersion camp. Groups of IB Middle Years students from all around the country turned up in packs. We discovered that many of the campers came on scholarships from their schools or cities, plenty from the East Coast, Boston, NYC, Philly, Raleigh etc. Turns out that our teen was the only DC PS student at the session (with hundreds of fellow campers). Where were the DCI students? Is anybody asking? [/quote]
