[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BASIS classes are going to be even smaller. No way at-risk kids make it through that system. [/quote] I'm not naive: They are likely less prepared and will need help catching up, and will probably drop out at a higher rate than average. But assuming failure is just wrong, both factually and morally. Honestly, part of the attraction of Basis is the lower share of higher need students. We came from an elementary school where the administration's attitude, sometimes explicitly stated, was "We're going to have to give your kids less attention because they are going to be OK anyway, and there are kids with higher needs." But adding a couple of at-risk students per element is not going to be a drag on the rest of the students. [/quote] Would be very interesting to see data. Anecdotally, the at-risk kids are disruptive, don't want to be there, don't do the work, and we don't expect them to return after 6th. [/quote]
