What "agenda" and what "boosterism"?

That's a decision point, PP expressed clear interest in math advancement, that's something Basis definitely offers, as opposed to Deal.

Apple, meet orange. End of story.

I think the point is that there is a Basis booster who never misses an opportunity to promote how supposedly great the school is, without any empirical evidence. Some people are tired of it. Yes, you love Basis and want to promote it, but for now you have no data. Stop pretending you've got the answer to a complex problem.

You don't see Latin and Deal acting so desperate.

(BTW, I have no vested interest in any of these schools.)[/quote]

I'm the PP who called out the booster and her agenda and that is exactly the point I was making. Thanks, PP.[/quote]

^ In this case you have no valid point to make, you are basically speaking out of turn by referring to lack of data on outcomes and trying to answer a different question than what was asked.  OP was specifically asking for comparisons between Deal and Basis, and expressly mentioned opportunity for challenge and advancement in Math and English.

The FACT is that Basis DOES accelerate in Math, more so than Deal.  That IS "empirical evidence", that IS data, that's a basic, simple, quantifiable and irrefutable statement of fact as opposed to simply being "some zealous booster's opinion" - and as such, there's no "desperation" or "agenda" involved in making that factual statement.

And whatever your own agenda or "vested interest" is, it is certainly evident that it includes the need to desperately take every opportunity possible to trash anyone who talks positively about Basis.[/quote]
