[quote=Anonymous]"What's your point? I would note that other schools don't go into great detail on teaching staff experience either. Do you know exactly how much experience each and every one of your child's teachers had? I doubt most posters here do."

True. Most public school parents don't ask this question. But they should.

Most charters in this town use teachers with minimal to zero teaching experience. They also feature very high turn over and classroom management issues.

My oldest now attends private. The experience of the teachers is something that is featured at the school. Guess what, experienced faculty and a real curriculum make for a lovely educational experience.

I always ask teachers the experience question and I have learned that no matter how impressive their degree and how hard they try, a teacher's first 2 years are pretty much a waste of your child's time in terms of instruction.

Best of luck to all those who try the Basis experiment. I predict high turnover for both students and teachers the first few years. Luckily BASIS, like Latin, has attracted a largely affluent cohort that will test well, regardless of the lackluster instruction.[/quote]
