[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not just the sequencing of the math taught at BASIS vis a vis Walls recognition. It's rampant math acceleration for acceleration's sake at BASIS. Our eldest was a strong math student in a DCPS ES who also did well in 5th and 6th grade math at BASIS yet wasn't quite ready for 7th grade algebra. [b]How were we to know that in 4th grade when we put in for the lottery,[/b] or even in the lower grades at BASIS? Our is a common BASIS story, even among the "appealing peer group," OP. [/quote] Genuine question -- is the testing (iReady, CAPE and Fast bridge at BASIS) helpful to identify students? Like, if you kid gets 95+ percentiles, they are ready? At other schools where math acceleration is test-in, the school uses tests to identify who is ready. At BASIS, I wonder if parents need to be the ones to look at test results and make that call.[/quote]
