[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect that nobody much would complain about the BASIS foreign language program if uptight DC admins had the good sense to leave you alone when you're on track for a high score in an AP language as early as 9th grade. [b]My sibling's kids attend a BASIS AZ[/b] school where they have permission for self prep on AP Mandarin (native-speaking family) without having to take the silly middle school linguistics class or any language at a beginning level. Apparently, the BASIS DC approach to language learning isn't universal in the the franchise's national constellation of middle schools and high schools. DC's problem is mainly leadership vs. policy.

Oh goodie! Have we reached that point where people who don't send their kids to BASIS chime in tell us what schools 2300 miles away with vastly different funding models, resources and admissions policies do? My brother sends his kids to schools in Edgemont (the ritzy part of Scarsdale). Wanna hear about how much better their schools are? No, you don't, because YOU DON'T LIVE THERE!!![/quote]
