[quote=Anonymous]I find the hand wringing over the EA spots at BASIS silly because it's not as though at risk kids were previously barred from the school. It's a straight up lottery and anyone can get in by scoring a spot in the lottery. The purpose of EA is to improve access of low income and at risk families to charter programs but it's not as though it doesn't already exist. There is self-selection bias at BASIS and that has always been true. It's true for middle and high income families too -- there are plenty of middle and high income families who choose not to lottery for BASIS or rank it below schools they like more. Not everyone likes their approach. I do not think the advent of EA spots at BASIS will change anything at all. BASIS is not and has never been an application school. This is not an affirmative action program for a competitive and hard-to-get-into program.[/quote]
