[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People.  When non-weed out schools add equitable access, you need to worry about what that is going to do about the education the school will be able to provide to non at risk students.  But this is the point of attending a weed-out school.  You don’t have to worry about any of this because basis will stay true to its weed out mission regardless.  So relax and let the rest of us worry about “equity” across dcps![/quote]

BASIS's whole schtick is that BASIS is too hard for ANY children to join after 5th grade, because they're "so advanced."  [b]They're now planning to add kids to the *high school* [/b]who will be incredibly underprepared by definition, coming from foster care, homelessness etc.  This is a recipe for disaster.  They also don't weed out with comps after 8th grade, so those underprepared kids will be permanently in the high school.

The sole reason BASIS is doing this is because they're trying to push through the elementary school for funding reasons, which parents were already concerned would harm the middle and high school.  And now we're seeing it happen, in real time. [/quote]

No, they aren't. The only schtick here is people like you who have a firm position and no amount of facts or changed circumstances will be considered.

Why do you care so much about one school in DC when all schools are failing these EA kids? Couldn't be that you don't actually give a sh*t about these poor underserved kids, could it?[/quote]

It says in the email that they’re accepting EA in grades 5-12. Learn to read. [/quote]

No, it says they are reserving. Not admitting. So reserving 100% of the zero seats they offer in most grades [/quote]
