[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't think it was necessarily for incoming students to be "advanced", but there is definitely an expectation of rigor, an expectation that the curriculum will be accelerated and will push hard on subjects like math and science, that there will not be social promotion, and accordingly that kids and parents will need to be committed, motivated and hard-working.[b] It's not a school for slackers. If it was anyone's notion that they could just coast through BASIS as with a DCPS school, that was their own mistake[/b].[/quote] It's a pretty big assumption that the students leaving are slackers. If it's true that parents are pulling their kids from BASIS, then BASIS is not delivering on its promise to educate the underserved students of DC, which is clearly in their marketing materials as their mission.[/quote]
