[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, while I can’t speak to the glorification of the former HOS, as a current 8th grade parent, my experience of her was that she’s the one who quit with no notice during the middle of a school year, leaving a school in crisis and without leadership.  Maybe her reasons were sound, but since they were never shared by her, all I know is that she’s the one who walked away from the job in the middle of the year without an explanation.[/quote]

And I would like to know what the bilingual parents expect of BASIS if their students could take the AP Spanish test in 8th grade. [b]Then what? BASIS would have to give them college-level Spanish instruction? [/b]So weird. Just go to DCI already.

And good luck to all of the families who think they will get into Walls, especially if you aren't the right demographic. Walls isn't really application when you get right down to it. . .[/quote]

This one's a no brainer. Have them take other AP courses of their choosing.  How about more history and government, more art, more lit, more whatever.

What's weird is how narrow-minded one poster and one high-octane charter can be. Just go get a great liberal arts education already. You might learn to think outside the box.[/quote]

BASIS HS students could also work toward scoring high on 2 AP language exams, or even a Cambridge Intl language A-Level, pitched about a year past AP. CI exams are given to anybody who cares to register for them at the British International School of DC. Taking two AP languages and CI exams is no longer uncommon in the burbs, even for the STEM minded aiming high in college admissions.  Neither is taking college-level language classes post AP while still in HS, with school systems in VA and MD generally paying for the college classes. DCPS has been paying for Walls students to take a variety of GW classes for more than a decade. Maybe DCPCS could finally bandwagon on the arrangement.[/quote]
