[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basis can't be a GT program. It isn't legal or appropriate under the law or the terms of its charter agreement. Also many GT students also have learning disabilities. It isn't so simple to draw the lines of who should or shouldnt be in. [/quote] Uh, it's pretty simple. Kids who can't, or won't, pass comps in 6th, 7th and 8th grades not only shouldn't be "in" unless they repeat a grade, they can't be "in" unless they repeat a grade. Nope, not complicated. [/quote] Which is not legal for students with disabilities under the IDEA. Period. Magnets can do that. Charters can't no matter how much you wish it were the case. [/quote] Patently untrue. BASIS has a charter which accords them the right to hold kids who cannot pass middle school comps back a grade. Many of those held back hit the road. My wishes are irrelevant. [/quote]
