[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's there to be so skeptical about?  With their experience from Arizona, I'd think they have more substance to work with than the typical new charter to start up in DC.  They've been through this stuff already, I'm sure they've learned a lesson or two, and have plenty of resources to draw on in terms of experience.

And, by holding comprehensive exams, those who can't hack it will be weeded out.[/quote]

are you on drugs? Seriously??? They're a public school and don't get to "weed" anyone out. They must reach and teach ANY student who chooses (or whose parent chooses) for him/her to go there. they have to educate the students they get. dream on if you think it's going to be anything like a private school.......[/quote]

I might ask the same of you.  The suggestion that they won't teach and educate the students they get is the wrong premise, and apparently you have no idea what is meant by comprehensive exams.  Basis WILL teach all who come.  BUT that comes with the expectation that the student pass comprehensive exams in order to advance to the next grade.  Sure, students could fail their 6th grade comprehensive exam over and over and over again and repeat 6th grade several times but my guess is that that will get old fast and students will either up their game and meet the expectation or go elsewhere.[/quote]
