[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any post presenting a non booster’s view about what kind of prep a kid needs to succeed at BASIS is a troll post, got it. This old BASIS hand/troll can tell you that the price of success is to put up with a dreary school run by inexperienced admins with some good teachers. [/quote]

Why is it that anyone with a positive experience is a "booster" and people with negative experiences or impressions are "telling the truth"? Also, we get it, you were affiliated with Basis as a teacher or parent and didn't like that a young admin told you that your double grad degrees were unmotivating and they were not going to change the program as per your suggestion. You chime in over and over again to speak about how young they all are as if anyone other than you cares. The leadership at a lot of charters is pretty green. Most of us judge a school based on the data and not some arbitrary minimum age of admins. Your fixation on young teachers is even more vexing. When I think about the best teachers my kids had in ES they were all young (under 30) and motivated and energetic. I don't care how old a teacher is as long as they have good classroom management skills, are SMEs and get results. By all empirical measures the Basis teachers achieve on all fronts.

If you like seniority having supremacy over results  and skills and favor some sort of tenure system then by all means stay in DCPS. The tenure system seems to be keeping a lot of dead weight around and dissuading young and talented teachers from staying in DCPS, but you do you.   [/quote]
