[quote=Anonymous]Students at Basis have one thing in common regardless of race SES or any other demographic slicing and dicing: they have someone in their corner who enrolled them in a demanding school. That is why all this ugly about picking a school based upon racial composition is so wrongheaded. And by the way Basis will is planning to create three out of the current two eighth grade "elements" to provide remediation or challenge during class time rather than just in tracked math or tutoring sessions. Yet cynical folks in abundance on DCUM will surely say that proves Basis is separating out by race and/or SES. Nope. It's pretty simple: by eighth grade students arriving from less demanding DC schools, many of which happen to be predominantly AA, are far behind indeed and need intensive catching up. [/quote]
