Yes. It because DC charter schools are allowed to hire uncertified teachers.  this is not the case in every state.  From what I gather, a major thrust of Basis is that they hire their teachers based on their teaching ability AND their depth of expertise in their particular subject.  Anyone who looks Round can see pretty quickly that certified teachers are not often also the highest caliber in their subject area (  chemistry, math, world history, journalism, us government etc.)  I am a certified teacher and can tell you that the ridiculously irrelevant course of study and subsequent bureaucracy to become a certified teacher drives away anyone slightly sane who.doesn't want their time wasted.[/quote]

I doubt the writer is a certified teacher -- it's more likely a plant and one too dumb to realize that certified teachers would be unlikely to put themselves down so willingly in at attempt to show how useless certification is.  Apparently the writer doesn't fit into the "slightly sane" category of people  described who are driven away from becoming a certified teacher.

I hope the proponents of BASIS don't use this kind of dishonest tactic to try to lure people into their school.[/quote]
