[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]EA at BASIS is going to be a disaster. [/quote]

You said the quiet part out loud. Why do you assume that kids who are economically disadvantaged are dumb and/or can't apply themselves? Why do you assume they don't have or can't develop executive functioning? Some of these 10 and 11 year old kids have already dealt with more sh*t in their lives than you will ever know and they are still in the game fighting to succeed. EA preferences are designed precisely for this reason; to ensure kids who more than many others need a solid educational footing have access.

This.  I'm familiar with one of the AZ basis schools.  There are some graduating seniors getting free lunch and also getting some hefty college scholarships for being economically disadvantaged or first generation.  These kids absolutely can succeed at Basis if they're smart and motivated.  [/quote]

BASIS Arizona and BASIS DC are two entirely different admission models. I wish people commenting would take the time to figure this out. [/quote]
