I'm not sure why you have such a hard time acknowledging this very simple fact.

DC BASIS is still an experiment here.

So in essence, you are saying that the children of DC, of whom a great many are low SS AA, will not be able to make it at Basis and therefore Basis will fail. Honestly, this is an outrageous assumption. [/quote]

Um, no, I didn't say that. Not in essence and not in fact. In fact, I didn't mention the children of DC at all in that three line post. I didn't talk about SES or AA students either. I didn't even talk about BASIS students. I made no assumptions, outrageous or otherwise.

I stated a FACT.

BASIS doesn't have a track record in DC. That's all I said.

Their reputation in Arizona is well earned, but this is the first year BASIS has been open and it doesn't have a track record in DC. In a few years, there will be some data that shows whether the BASIS model works in DC the way it works in AZ.

I can't figure out why such a simple fact makes some boosters go crazy with the accusations about what was never said.
