[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This Hunter College NYC MS & HS grad and person of color, with no dog in this fight, disagrees strongly. DC Charter's decision to invite BASIS to set up shop, in a rehabbed office building no less, was a desperate act. The District is in the top 5 jurisdictions on ed spending per capita nationally, yet can't run a single high-performing by-right HS. The only other jurisdictions to work with BASIS Arizona (BASIS Educational Group) have been Texas and Louisiana, hardly bastions of excellence where public school performance is concerned. A situation where a big East Coast city can't run home-grown advanced high school programs on a par with the best in other cities of similar size demands voter-driven ed reform, not additional BASIS campuses. [/quote] As a Hunter lifer... I don't exactly disagree. But I also plan to lottery my kids for BASIS.[/quote]
