[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP who is more neutral on this conversation. Except with Basis- Basis actively removes students who cannot keep up with their program and does not backfill. I’m not against the program, but they should not get as much funding as the schools those students who they effectively kick out end up at.[/quote] It’s false to say that Basis actively removes students who can’t keep up. Those students aren’t kicked out of the school. If they don’t pass their classes, they don’t get promoted to the next grade. They’ll have a chance to retake final tests and do summer school. And if they still don’t pass, they repeat the grade at Basis. They are not asked to leave. Socially promoting kids each year who get failing grades is how we ended up with charter schools to begin with. Why should more money be allocated to DCPS schools with truancy problems and kids who can barely read? [/quote]
