[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More like trying to disguise their demographics. BASIS enrolls few [b]poor minority  kids[/b] by design. Few can handle the curriculum and those who enroll aren’t given the structure or support (e.g intensive remediation and Saturday school like at KIPP) for that to change.[/quote]

No kids at Basis here but the blame that few poor minority kids can handle the curriculum lays on DCPS shoulders not Basis.

DCPS doesn’t offer G and T in elementary and tracking in all subjects in middle school for [b]the poor minority kids[/b] with potential to do well.  They also socially promote everyone so impossible for a teacher to do any teaching at high level. So they stay in the low expectation culture of DCPS and by the time high school rolls around, it’s too late.

That’s fine if Basis wants to help support struggling students but let’s not kid yourself that if someone who is performing way below grade level from a poorly performing school is going to catch up and succeed at Basis.  [/quote]

Why do people on DCUM assume all minority kids are poor and struggling???[/quote]
