[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So let's stop pretending that any of our DC public school programs are world-class. It's good when posters call out knee-jerk BASIS boosters. I'm impressed that a dozen BASIS now students get into MIT, Ivies etc. each spring.  Not impressed with factory style teaching and learning, and DCPS chaos, lack of rigor and unstable leadership.  Deep-rooted systemic problems in our schools are far more serious than the absence of NYC and Fairfax type test-in magnets.[/quote]

We aren't even asking for world-class programs. We are asking for average programs. We don't even have that in DC.[/quote]

Yes, because no city politician ever seems to get voted out for failing to deliver first-rate public middle schools or high schools.

Where else in this country do the highest-performing high schools suffer from terrible overcrowding and honors for all, or are housed in buildings without basic facilities and budgets for serious extra curriculars/enrichment?

Why would they be held to account? As an observer now not at the whim of DCPS I am often quickly you all take up arms in a circular firing squad. An objective observer might think you hate basis more than you care about your own kid's education. You are poster children for how to control a mass audience by having them turn on each other rather than those in power.   [/quote]

You're just observing the nonsense on DCUM. No one IRL really hates BASIS. They hate that they don't have another option when they strike out of the Latin lottery. That's not BASIS' fault. Maybe now that there's a Latin 2, people will stop whining.[/quote]
