[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know much about what's happening in Arizona but BASIS DC forces teachers and students into the BED OF PROCRUSTES, otherwise they are forced out. It's not so bad at the middle school level, but at the high school level, the way facts are being manipulated is terrible. If you are truly interested, just talk to any of the fine and beloved former teachers who were let go.[/quote]

Ok I'll admit I had to look that up.  Translation: teachers and students are being forced to fit into a certain mold (literally having their legs or arms cut off until they fit into an iron bed) or being forced out.  I tend to agree with that assessment.  I think that is why so many of the LEAP kids left.  The writing was already on the wall.  The founder wants BASIS automatons to teach and graduate from every school. The joy of middle school is gone. Good luck with that here.  Washington DC by definition is not full of conformists.  You want high quality you have to keep the free thinkers and keep the joy and love of learning.  High school program is so restrictive it is stifling.  Thought it might get better with more students, and then realized that there aren't ever going to be more students in the high school.  So if you started out thinking high school was going to be the reward, you end up completely disillusioned.[/quote]
