[quote=Anonymous]Did you all know that the founders, the Blocks, after starting the non-profit schools founded a for-profit company to "outfit" all of Basis' schools on a whole range of areas?  In fiscal year 2011, out of the 13.7 million Basis Schools spent, 9.8 million went to the Blocks for-profit company.  As a private company, they are not required to disclose any information.  And yet, Mr. Block still maintains his position on the non-profit Governing Body of Basis' Schools.

They are economics with one clear agenda in mind.  Do you think they care where students attend once they withdraw?  They have already secured the "funding" and know it will support the rest of the their "educational model."

And really, tell me a school in the country who, if they skimmed off 65% of the starting 5th/6th grade students by 11th/12th grade, couldn't perform at a very high level nationally?  The Blocks are gaming the system and people are falling for it...at least in AZ.  DC, hold your ground and make them serve your children, all the way through high school.  Don't make it easy for them by withdrawing your children. [/quote]
