[quote=Anonymous]So, let me get this straight -- DCPS teaches math better than BASIS? While we won't have BASIS DC high school scores yet to compare with DCPS, we do have the scores on the SAT and APs from their other schools. Even without Scottsdale, they don't seem to be shirking their duty and BASIS uses Saxon systemwide. I don't know or have a strong feeling about math fundamentals. I have a BA from a good university, passed all my math classes (including calculus) and I was still a little surprised and mystified the first time my then-second-grader brought home DCPS math homework that I couldn't understand or help with, due to the way it was being taught now. I was also shocked when that same child was about to enter BASIS and I realized that the multiplication tables were never memorized. This child is in advanced math classes at BASIS now and getting As and I don't care how or when geometry is absorbed. [/quote]
