[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rotten that a kid who scored a 5 on AP World History would need to take a World History class at Walls.

Can nobody sort this idiocy out?

How about the BASIS HOS and concerned parents talking to Grosso and Antwan Wilson's offices to put pressure on Walls admins?

BASIS has tried every year for the last 5 years -- DCPS even hired BASIS' academic dean to work in the central office, and it made no difference. Parents have begged the DME.

BASIS did host the Chancellor earlier this year for his first visit to a charter school to 'collaborate' -- so maybe something will change this year. But too late for my kid.

But TBH it's not just Walls -- it's DCPS. Same thing happens at Wilson and Banneker.

DCPS dysfunction.  No kid who got a 5 on the AP should have to retake the class.  The 5 already demonstrates proven mastery.  And as for the math placement exam at Walls, DC took it last year, he passed it but thought it was poorly written.  And he's a kid who competed in MathCounts and beat kids from many of the other schools around the area in math competitions.  I take him at his word when he says it was a poorly written math test. We stayed at BASIS instead.

I think Walls just doesn't want to accommodate kids who are ahead of where Walls is ready for them to be.[/quote]
