[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They also want to reach underserved students.[/quote]

With the caveat that the underserved students are able to handle accelerated work.  If your child is below grade level, BASIS offers remediation for them to catch up but the student needs to put in the work.

Sending your child to a middle/high school that is known for an accelerated curriculum and then complaining about the fact that the curriculum is accelerated makes you an idiot.[/quote]

And yet, you'd still be not as big an idiot as the charter school parent who believes that a charter school doesn't have an obligation to serve every single child who comes through the doors, AND serve them all equally well.  Every. single. child. Equally. well.

It's not hard, it's the law.[/quote]

:shock:

Not at all true.  It is not the law.  Equal access, yes.  Equal opportunity, yes.  Accommodation, yes.  Those are law.

Everyone gets an A, no.  Sorry.  Everyone gets a free pass to the next grade, no.  Sorry.  Neither of those are law.

Nice strawman, bug eyes.  FAPE doesn't demand that everyone gets an A.  It does demand that everyone receives the accommodations, and services, and supports necessary to access the curriculum.  So if Johnny or Jamal or Juanito can't take Calculus when he's 10, you don't get to keep holding him back until he's 14 in the hope that he drops out.  You have to provide a math curriculum he can access.  Even if it means you have to offer 5th grade math.[/quote]

Nice trolling, troll.  They just can't discriminate, and have to provide support.  There is no assumption that every child can achieve the same results with some fixed amount of support.

If that were the case, every DCPS school would be up the creek, because they aren't making material accessible enough.  Ergo, your logic is completely, utterly fried.[/quote]

Nice trying, fool.  There's no assumption in the law that every child achieve the save outcome.  Again, this is really simple.  The legal requirement is that the school provide FAPE.

(Btw, DCPS has been up the creek for a couple of decades.  It's the reason they're spending hundreds of millions of dollars to send students to private schools.  You're an idiot to not know this.)[/quote]
