[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've largely checked out of the BASIS chats mostly because the concept is preposterous and the named principal is also preposterous.  But the reason there is so much argument about counseling in and out is because BASIS DC has touted itself as the saviour of all kids in DC -- if you apply and get a spot they can make you succeed.  Therefore, it's obnoxious to backtrack and say if you went to the seminars and attended the other stuff you ought to be prepared for counseling out -- there's a nice lousy DCPS just around the corner waiting for you.  But, wait -- they're stuck with DCPS teachers and the union, so oh, never mind.  But -- I still care a lot for ALL KIDS SUCCEEDING.  So never mind!

I care about all kids succeeding too. The best way to meet the needs of all kids is to offer them many choices. Choices will allow parents and students with different needs to find the school that best meets their needs. I think having all schools be "one size fits all" model is a bad idea that will not meet the needs of all students.

I also never heard Basis Dc say they will the savior of everyone.period. It sounds like you just want kids to have [b]no[/b][u] choices and just lousy schools as their options :roll: I just do not get it at all.[/quote]
