[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^Some measure of coordination and planning, great, but the Cult of Olga sounds disturbingly industrial. A high order form of the NCLB conveyer belt?  I've got a PhD and wouldn't teach anywhere I had to spell out lesson plans for anybody but my students.  BASIS evokes an image of Mussolini making the trains run on time, with the Italians cheering for a time.

What works well in public high schools in this city anyway when more than a handful of low-SES kids are in the mix?  Most of you seem to be commenting on a 5th grade experience.  Did anyone else find Latin's 2012 DC-CAS scores troubling when broken down by race?  It seems that at BASIS' main competitor, nearly 1/3 of the MS kids don't test proficient (yet the school only tracks for algebra) and nearly half the HS kids (in 10th grade).  Even so, parents rave about Latin on DCUM as though it's the Harvard of public schools.

I'm taking all this boosting with a grain of salt, waiting for BASIS' scores next summer, broken down by race and class.

"Cult of Olga"...  "Mussolini"...  You sound like a nut.  Personally, I wouldn't WANT you teaching anywhere.[/quote]
