[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"No one gets theirs until I get mine."  And reflected in that attitude is evidently that kids should not be expected to work hard, learn and achieve, and "how dare Basis come along and meet the need of kids and families that are willing to make that investment of effort for their children's future" - and thereby evidently not meet the "needs" of those who don't want to work hard, learn and achieve.

Seems to me that the detractors from schools like Basis already got exactly what results from that kind of thinking - schools that perfectly meet the needs of kids who are not expected to work hard, learn and achieve.

[b]So, we've already tried it your way, we've already gotten what results from doing it your way, and now it's time for another approach, and if you don't like what schools like Basis are doing, then either keep sending your kids to the disaster that is regular public schools or dream up your own charter school, and do the work it takes to make it happen.[/b]  [/quote]

I can't figure out who you're talking to here.  Whose way have we already tried?  Who doesn't like what Basis is doing?

I like what Basis is doing, just like I liked what Latin has been doing before it.  I don't get why you have such a chip on your shoulder.  Is it because Basis can't be a magnet school with an entrance requirement, and has to meet the needs of the students it gets, even if they're not TJ material?[/quote]
