[quote=Anonymous]Yes, why don't we agree that different kids and families need different things. Let's also agree that different kids and families need some of the same things in a public school, or at least could really use them. Strong language instruction starting sooner than 8th grade sounds to me like a bona fide need in 21st century America. What else? How about appropriate math acceleration for all students, a decent facility/physical plant, strong ECs and enrichment, serious academics for four years of high school and a well-trained, stable and experienced faculty (preferably one that parents don't need to help pay) and good leadership. Good luck finding any of that at BASIS DC for your tax dollars. [/quote]
