[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Food for thought:  is there a school in DC that does a good job of educating all types of students, including the most advanced and the “hardest work”?

It’s virtuous to ask that all schools welcome everyone, but DC schools — with maybe a very few exceptions — aren’t wildly successful at their mission.  Maybe BASIS’s specialization is an instructive tale rather than a cautionary one?

Is there a way to creatively and equitably get more students exactly the program that they, as individuals, need?[/quote]

An interesting question. Another good question is whether there are schools at the MS and HS level that do a good job of addressing the needs of the kids who struggle the most. There are schools that DCUM never discusses that are focused on these students. Coolidge and Bard, the Early College Academies. McKinley Tech. Perhaps these schools snd their teachers have insight into what could help other schools address the needs of these students. Maybe we need more such schools. Maybe some of our neighborhood schools could j look warm sonething.[/quote]
