[quote=Anonymous] Unfortunately BASIS was started as a charter school subject to current law which means that it accepts all children based upon lottery -- not test scores, motivation, behavior problems (or lack of behavioral problems), neighborhood or SES. Therefore it is up to BASIS to meet the needs of its current students. Not just the students who are high achieving or without behavioral problems, but all students who are enrolled. I think that is where there is frustration with Basis. If others have to meet the needs of their students then why not Basis? [/quote] It is deeply ironic to me that until BASIS came on the scene a lot of the accusations about "counseling kids out" including kids with behavioral problems, were directed at Washington Latin. Perhaps this is the hazing that every new good charter school has to go through for the first few years if they decide to set up camp in Washington DC?[/quote]
