[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BASIS is all about the end result-- excellent test scores, [b]huge numbers of AP classes with 4s or 5s,[/b] and college acceptances.

That's the mission, the goal and the kids are schooled from day one to focus on that.  All else is secondary.  The only reason to join a club is to put it on the college resume.  The only reason to take a language is because colleges like to see languages.

From that standpoint of course PE is an utter waste of time.  [/quote]

Many former BASIS teachers strongly believe that test results are heavily controlled and that there are certain students receiving 5's would not have scored more than a 3 on the same AP exam, had they taken the test elsewhere.

BASIS DC is chummy chummy with CollegeBoard resulting to alright SAT results. ACT is given by a different company, that's why BASIS students do not take it.
This said, if the mover and shaker parents wanted PE, the school will have PE for all students who want to take it every year.

When 2 years ago, it was announced that PE was exempt, almost all the students and most teachers rejoiced and clapped.
