[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really - I hadn't noticed that all other schools list the degrees and universities for all of its teaching staff but leave off years of teaching experience for some teachers the way BASIS does.[/quote]

They don't - hardly any school does.  Latin, for example, doesn't list years of teaching experience for ANY of their staff.

DC Prep Edgewood Middle PCS only shows a similar level of detail as BASIS, many don't list years of experience.

And those are the top two charters (by CAS results).

For DCPS, many likewise don't list years of experience or much detail either.

For all anyone knows, based on the various school websites, that same faulty "inexperienced faculty" assumption could be made of virtually any school in the district.  PP really didn't display any good evidence, reasoning or factchecking prior to posting this assumption that Basis has an inexperienced faculty, let alone any conclusions drawn beyond that.[/quote]

BASIS is trying to sell itself into a new market as something special, with superior teachers , so it seems the only reason they wouldn't specifically mention teaching experience for all teachers is because it doesn't help their case.

The evidence provided is lack of complete info about teaching experience.  Rather than defend BASIS based on incomplete  evidence of their staff's teaching experience,  why not ask them to list the teaching experience of all their teachers and see how they react.  [/quote]
