[quote=Anonymous]I'm the Basis and former Deal parent.  Good idea, 4:15 - had a look at the MD threads and several with a political focus are running concurrently.  This one has the most hits "Who to Vote for on Board of Education Supporting More Challenging Curriculum for Advanced Learners"

Two years hence, I pledge to do some research, talk to pols, make a recommended list of supportive DC candidates and post the list on DCUM and other parent forums and list servs.   I'd love to see Wells go if he's replaced by a CM who gets it.

It's ridiculous that there isn't a single public middle school in DC where remedial students and advanced learners don't sit in the very same English, foreign language, social studies and science classes, especially in 8th grade.  Kids at both ends of the achievement spectrum get the short end of the stick for political reasons. Moreover, parents who complain are told to hit the road for privates (particularly by fellow parents).

Basis may or may not hire that remedial teacher- money is in short supply.
