[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The price for staying in DC will be providing an alternate path for the students who can't be in the regular program (a la Yu Ying). Yu Ying isn't allowed to counsel out the low-performing students, Basis won't be either.[/quote] I don't think that BASIS counsels out students who performing poorly. On the contrary, the school has various programs in place to support those students. However, BASIS does not engage in social promotion. Beginning in the 6th grade, all students must pass year-end comprehensive exams in all core subjects to advance to the next grade. I suspect that students who fail the comprehensive exams choose to leave rather than repeat the year. I suspect also that students who struggle to pass the comprehensive exams eventually choose to transfer to schools with less rigorous programs. [/quote]
