[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are being rather naive if you think we are at the point where dcps/city government cares one iota if all of us wanting selective admissionns simply shove off.  They have bigger fish to fry: like kids who can't read it do math at all.  [/quote]

There are strong signs that this is changing, like Kaya Henderson talking to the press in June about how much she needs upper-middle-class families to stay in the system to "raise all boats".  I agree that if and only if more well-heeled taxpayers, particularly AA ones, clamor for selective ES and MS admissions, DC may see NYC and Meto area suburban quality middle and high school programs emerge eventually.

We pulled our highly capable older child out of Latin after 8th for a private because too many of the other students were behind our kid academically, there was almost no ability grouping, and we want her on track to have a shot at cracking our Ivy.  Can't see how Basis will be any different - the school can let slow kids, most of whom will be AA but certainly not all, pass those end of year exams to avoid controversy, and surely will.  Great.  You're a troll and a basher on these threads for pointing out/predicting the obvious.
