[quote=Anonymous][quote]Basis' model, as seen in its other schools, is based on high attrition. [b]And it still works, economically. The founders are renowned economists, they have done their analysis[/b]. There will be no rush to replace children who leave. It's just one reason I stopped pursuing an enrollment for my child, BUT I'm still supportive of BASIS...There is a need for more accelerated teaching in DC. Perhaps a dozen of the initial class will remain till 12th grade, but looking for 6-8 APs is not much different from what top public school kids in Fairfax and Montgomery county achieve every year.[/quote] You've articulated one of the many reasons parents are leery of BASIS. It's run by economists, not educators. Their agenda is clear.[/quote]
