[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No kids at Basis but I support the philosophy that if your kids can’t cut it with the workload and academics, no problem.  You don’t pass or get counseled out.

If we had this high standard expectation when it comes to academics in more schools in DC, then many families wouldn’t leave the city or go private.  DC schools would be viewed more favorably and with better standing.  As it is, it’s pathetic how low the bar is in DC.

I don’t care that there is not a lot of clubs or green space or that there are limited facilities, etc....  You want that for your kid, go to another school in DC.  Plenty of them have that. But hardly any have really high academic standards and stand firm in this.

The honors for all crap at Wilson is disastrous and bringing the school down.  Ask families there about their kids experiences in 9th and 10th. It’s just sad that rigor is being cut all in the name of equity and closing the achievement gap by lowering the top.
