[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the BASIS example could be apposite to the situation. I would make it of that rigor and promote the hell out of it, but make it clear that it's rigorous, period, there are always other schools for you. Then I would site it in Anacostia. Accessible to the Hill but across the River. I actually believe it would be extremely popular, contrary to some views of the potential of EOTR kids. That said, I think a no-excuses academic rigor should be quietly accompanied by some serious tutoring. Not by the same staff.[/quote] Given DCPs grading scale this would not work. They won’t kick kids out, they won’t fail kids and they wouldn’t allow comps or whatever the end of year tests Basis gives to be promoted to the next grade. DCPS just passes kids along. It’s not the teachers it’s institutional.[/quote]
