[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since PARCC scores took absolutely forever to be released, [b]BASIS could not have acquired them from a student’s prior school before the school year began[/b].  BASIS does its own “baseline readiness” testing that they say is a predictor of how likely the student is to be successful at BASIS.  The school also provides progress reports and baseline scores regularly so that families have a chance to do what they can to get their student up to speed.  [/quote]

Bingo! To paraphrase Tommy Lee Jones from the Fugitive, perhaps poster to whom you responded would care to revise her bullsh*t statement (regarding how BASIS "knows" because of PARCC scores)?

Plus, it perpetuates the idea that if a kid was not previously challenged or given the benefit of outside support, they cannot succeed and we know this because of what happened [u]by March of 4th grade[/u]. There's also a white savoir condescension operating here that says that the UMC white folks are going to protect the poor black folk from making the wrong decision about their own kids, because they can't be trusted to go to an open house, attend an info session and do their own research. Thank the lord DCUM is here to make the decision for them. [/quote]
