[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It reads like "Don't worry, we'll make sure it's only a few more poors, and we'll make sure they're super desperate to be here!"

Imagine how different this letter would be if they actually wanted to do this. Of course, if they wanted to, they would have done it already.[/quote]

That's my takeaway as well. They are clear that "this new preference will impact our opening grade level seat size by less than 8% of total seat offers -- meaning a marginal impact to new families submitting applications." They never say the exact number of equitable access seats they will offer -- it could be in the single digits and this is more performative than anything else. Based on the 8% quoted in the email, it's probably around 12. [/quote]

If it is only 9 seats should they not do it all? Seems like if those 9 kids get a chance they otherwise wouldn't get then it makes a difference to those kids. In a thread filled with dumb takes yours may be the dumbest. Your objection is that they didn't tell you right now how many seats? And also you don't think the number of seats they didn't tell you they would offer is enough seats? The only thing performative here is people like you. [/quote]

Reading is fundamental -- perhaps you should have gone to a BASIS school or perhaps you are just overly emotional. In any case, I don't object - even if it is performative. I just don't see that 12 kids (or less or even a bit more) are going to ruin the BASIS education as is being said by others throughout this thread. [/quote]
