[quote=Anonymous]+1. It's just that Basis won't counsel kids out, even if it could, any more than Yu Ying has been permitted or inclined to counsel out kids who aren't a good fit for immersion Chinese. Not sporting to oust poor kids from charters. DC Charter/Basis would be asking for serious political trouble, and an avalanche of bad press, if they went this route, so they won't. I predict an arrangement whereby families of better students vote with their feet along the way, as at Latin. Parents may claim that this is changing radically at Latin but it's not. Look at Wilson, still less than 1/4 white in a district that's been more than 2/3 white for a long time. Without more practical approaches, you hit the wall after MS and the school limps along, like Banneker and Walls, proclaiming excellence when few graduates get to 5-star colleges (shh, don't advertise where the kids actually end up).
