[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all the post. My understanding is if a child fails a class, they will repeat that class over again. I feel there is nothing wrong with that.[b] If you fail a college class, don't you have to take it again?[/b][/quote]

Exactly :mrgreen: [/quote]

In college there is no problem-- but what will happen iF lots of kids get held back?  Will basis have a separate class for them? Or will the classes at basis sqEw older?  So that average age kids are out numbered by older kids?[/quote]

You understand that college is not compulsory education, right?  And that the majority of Americans do not graduate from college?  Middle Schools, unlike Universities, are supposed to educate everyone.  If you want a selective MS, you need to go private or convince DCPS to create a magnet.  Trying to create one via a charter isn't going to cut it.  If too many students are struggling, it's going to look badly on the school and it will be considered the school's fault - not the students'.[/quote]
