[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, not every kid will have the academic chops to make it at BASIS - which is why it's great that there are so many options and alternatives available in the District to choose from.  None of the schools in the District are truly "one-size-fits-all", and it's probably better that way.  [/quote]

too bad, though, for the kids that are used for fodder to keep charter schools going according to the current rules that don't allow testing for admittance.[/quote]

And, your point is... what?  Bottom line is, those kids will be used "for fodder" somewhere in the system regardless, it's all about the funding, whether charters, DCPS or privates.  And who knows - that might actually be some other charter that caters to their needs.  There's already examples all across the spectrum.  There's Options, catering to troubled youth, St. Coletta, catering to seriously disabled children, and so on.  Bottom line is, if DCPS isn't meeting the need, someone else will meet that need.  For the kids who aren't into academics, how about technical schools to teach other skills?  Not everyone is destined for academics and there are lots of highly valued professions out there that are in demand.[/quote]
