[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What is the plan for taking 5th graders who are performing far below grade level and getting them to succeed in AP classes? [/quote] There is no plan, what you describe has likely never been done -- just with a school. Something like that requires tutors, extremely involved parents, highly motivated kids and lots of time -- and good teachers help too. Schools alone can't make that happen, no matter how much of a different animal they are. Basis will find ways of discouraging unmotivated parents from choosing it. Word will get out that you have to work hard and a lot of kids won't want to go. There's a charter now that attracts kids who want to work in hotels and restaurants when they graduate. You can bet kids interested in AP classes are not applying to that school. It will happen in reverse with Basis.[/quote]
