[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BASIS, now is your chance! You can have the Hope building and make offers to all the kids! [/quote]

It would be interesting to see if the BASIS model could help to quickly accelerate the students from Hope. Even if they just took the non-tested grades (pk to 2) and grew them.

For the tested grades, less than 15% of Hope kids are on grade level in reading and less than 5% in math. For those grades, it's a great test to to see if BASIS could deal with what a lot of other schools do -- incoming kids who aren't at high levels of proficiency. Even so, I love BASIS for what is it is and the option it provides - an option that is severely lacking in DC. There are other charters that are experienced and expert in students at these lower performance levels. [/quote]

You're saying the quiet part loud though. BASIS always insists that it is perfectly fine and happy alto educate kids who are below grade level or don't speak English very well. Because to say otherwise would expose what's really going on. [/quote]
