[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP--who are you? A parent? A Basis administrator?

ALL schools have the intention of providing the best curriculum and producing high achieving students.  BASIS doesn't corner the market on that.  Saying that a curriculum is "great" actually is an opinion.  I hope the folks at BASIS are teaching the difference between fact and opinion correctly.

Six weeks of school is not even close to being enough time to show that they're "pulling it off."

All anyone can do is wait.  That doesn't make me a BASIS hater or supporter.  Just a realist.  [/quote]

I'm a parent who made the switch to BASIS in large part because of the curriculum.

BASIS tracks the college matriculation and graduation rates of its alums as a measure of its success.  The vast majority of schools, well intentioned or not, do not track college graduation rates.  Thus, they can't really tell how well they are preparing their students for college.

Having attended a top private school myself, having had child in another DC area charter, and having taken a close look the BASIS curriculum as well as observed the first few weeks of it's implementation, I stand by my claim that it is a great curriculum.

Clearly, this is my opinion, and you are free to disagree with met. However, you should take the time review it yourself before calling my opinion of its quality into question:

Please feel free to post any specific criticism you have.  Feel free, also, to post a link to the curriculum of a DC-area school that you believe to have a better curriculum.[/quote]
