[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow—won’t be long before BASIS DC, a 100% lottery school, ranks above Walls, which only takes straight A students.[/quote] That is totally misleading. Yes, basis accepts by lottery -- in 5th grade. It then forces out kids who aren't successful and refuses to accept any new students for 9th grade.[/quote] Oh stop. There's lots of schools in DC that have similar policies. BASIS is not unique. [/quote] Really? Name one.[/quote] Every bilingual school in the city?[/quote] Bilingual schools don't accept kids midstream because it would screw up their whole program. They're teaching science and math and art in a foreign language and that won't work if there's new kids coming in who can't speak. They don't force anyone out but some decide bilingual is not for them and they leave and they are not replaced. [/quote]
