[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG, "tangled web of bureaucratic experts standardizing everything at every campus..."  Aren't you describing DCPS?  What I see being standardized at BASIS (with my child attending) is consistency between teachers so a kid can form good work habits rather than scramble in sheer frustration to discern each teacher's idiosyncratic procedures as was the case at Latin where every teacher had to reinvent the wheel and blaze their own trail for paperwork management, how assignments are relayed to kids, what to do if kid out sick, labeling pages, show work or not, point systems for discipline, acceptance of late work, contacting parents, on and on and on.  I am grateful for Basis thinking it through and freeing the teachers and students to focus on the stuff that actually matters.[/quote]

Not sure whether I am describing DCPS, but definitely TUSD, our struggling public school system in Tucson. And that is the delicious irony. Our success has led to expansion has led to loss of many of the qualities that allowed us to succeed. And this is primarily from the teacher's point of view, which of course doesn't count for much any more (again another similarity between BASIS and TUSD). Again, I am speaking about the 10+ year evolution of BASIS in Tucson, not your 0.1 year experience in DC. The two may differ. [/quote]
