[quote=Anonymous]All the BASIS charter schools all over the country have an "attrition model" and their graduating class is always smaller. This is the only way a public charter school, which is open to all, can have an extremely accelerated curriculum that is inappropriate for most. Students come in, realize it doesn't work for them, and drop out. The solution would be for them to find the 135 5th graders in DC who are truly prepared for and will thrive under a math and science curriculum that is more accelerated than can be found in any other public school in DC. They do try to warn parents and students during the open houses, and to find the right kids. Once I realized the attrition was kind of by design, and that it is common across all BASIS charter schools (not the private schools), it stopped bothering me as much. [/quote]
