[quote=Anonymous][i]That’s exactly the big deal. What you had 25 years ago in your gifted program is not commonplace today. Do you think BASIS would be so popular if parents had access to such programs in their by-right public school? I guess you could also say, “what’s the big deal about Latin, we had classical education hundreds of years ago.” We don’t have it here now as a widely available option for the many families who seek it. That’s why BASIS, Latin and others are a big deal.[/i] I'm not buying this. In this Metro area alone there are dozens of stellar HS programs on a par with BASIS academically with far better facilities (and that's putting it mildly). DC public schools are the problem, not the dearth of challenging academic programs in the country. DCPS is a system without any formal GT programs.[/quote]
