[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It's not really "guinea pigs" at Basis. [/b] They already have a tried and tested model that's worked for several other schools. They've already had an opportunity to work many of the kinks out.[/quote] It is though. The "tried and tested model" that "they've already had an opportunity to work" on, is in the rich suburbs of Tucson. Look at the demographics, that school is richer than Deal. The "kinks" they've had an opportunity to work out are on a much wealthier and better-prepared cohort of applicants than they're going to get here in DC. Being the leading edge of a new school is always a guinea pig experience, even from one rich Basis school (Tucson) to another (Scottsdale) to another (Oro Valley). Tucson's success hasn't been replicated yet in wealthy suburbs. How is it supposed to translate into an urban school district like DC? [/quote]
