[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMHO, Basis’ “no exceptions made to the curriculum” policy is a core part of its appeal. [/quote] You're conflating rigor with one-size-fits all teaching and learning, which the experts say isn't for the best. The enemies are social promotion and lack of academic tracking/test-in programs in DC public middle schools. I went to middle school in NYC, at Hunter College MS/HS. The Hunter experience was loaded with creative "exceptions," and loads of grads went on to Ivies, MIT, Stanford etc.[/quote]
