[quote=Anonymous]So let them lottery in and promptly flunk them out to spread the word on how the arrangement works. That's essentially what happened when BASIS DC opened more than a decade back. In the first several years, around 15% of the 6th and 7th graders were held back annually, dozens of kids forced to repeat a grade to stay in the program. That percentage of those being held back has been way down ever since, around 2% now. The word got out that the BASIS middle school curriculum is no walk in the park, no exceptions. Some of you must not have been tuning in from the get go.[/quote]
