[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But how is it in the child's best interest to stay in the same grade for four years at the same school? Isn't that a huge downside for the other kids?[/quote] Absolutely, but it's a public charter, so BASIS gives them a packet to work on and retest them at the end of the summer, and if they get a failing grade, they either leave or repeat-the parents choose to keep them, it is not BASIS fault. Honestly, if you haven't mastered at the very least the sciences each year before moving forward, you can't succeed the next year, and comps are how. They determine that-amazing them half the grade for the year is debatable, insisting every 6th 7th and 8th grader passes science comps before moving forward isn't.[/quote]
