[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former teacher again. If DCPS college counseling is your primary basis for comparison, BASIS rocks. What I found least tolerable was that educators obviously weren’t behind the creation of the franchise. I came to see the BASIS as an AP tutoring program housed in the sort of facility you’d expect from Kumon or Mathnasium. The lack of respect for individual preferences, backgrounds and learning styles in pursuit of elite college-worthy academic achievement, particularly in regard to bilingualism (not valued by BASIS) was off-putting for this educator. I was promised far more academic freedom than I got. It’s good to be teaching in a suburban GT program where intellectuality, unique backgrounds and talents and hands-on learning are celebrated. My pay jumped 30% in leaving a DC charter.  [/quote]

Good for you.  Enjoy the burbs.[/quote]  They certainly won't miss you.  Pretty clearly, you have too much get up and go and are too darn logical and broad-minded. [/quote]
