[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Passing a test is not a barometer of anyone mastering curriculum.  Remember passing final exams and passing a test is quite different.  Why hell, we have 16 year olds passing driver's test and how many are hesitant to hand over their car keys to a teenager.

I just have a problem with the BASIS teacher's not being licensed to teach.  Hence, they are NOT taking a test to teach but are willing to prepare students to test.

Just wondering what is the so-called "test" in regards of weeding out bad teachers at BASIS?[/quote]

Teachers not required to have licensure is not at all unique to BASIS.  Guess what - the same pretty much applies to ALL of the charters and ALL of the private schools in DC - basically half of the schooling in DC is done in schools that don't require licensure.  And ironically, guess who is getting the better results and who is graduating a higher percentage and who is putting more of their graduates into college and good jobs?  It's the charters and privates. [/quote]
