[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We try to bring all of the smart students to their own schools, BASIS, School Without Walls (for rich white kids), Banneker (For Black Kids), etc... If these kids were in normal public schools maybe they would do some good.[/quote]

Nobody attends Basis, however there are lots of smart kids at Deal and Latin.

Basis is going to have to learn how to educate children from all levels, even those in Special Ed.  Oh, and fast.[/quote]

A.) Where on the BASIS / School Without Walls application form does it specify race and income level?  Do you have a list of names of people who were specifically kept from School Without Walls or BASIS for no reason other than race or income?  If you don't, then that charge is completely without merit.

BOOOGUS.

B.) [quote=Anonymous]Basis is going to have to learn how to educate children from all levels, even those in Special Ed.  Oh, and fast[/quote] - Heh, seems to me that the regular DC Public Schools are the ones who have totally dropped the ball "on all levels, even those in Special Ed", and that's why anyone with a clue is fleeing the DC public schools - I'd suggest you direct your complaints there FIRST before turning those complaints at the charters.  Meanwhile, schools like BASIS aren't about social promotion.  Go ahead and send your underperforming kid to BASIS if you want, but only if you don't mind them repeating 5th grade over and over again if they still can't master the material even with all the extra tutoring that BASIS offers.[/quote]
