[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Basis parent and am SICk of hearing about Basis! I am so much more interested in what our CITY is going to do to narrow the racial proficiency gap-44% AA proficiency vs 92% Caucasian is just despicable and it needs to be dealt with now![/quote]
Finally someone who has common sense.
By the way, BASIS has been consistently counsing out students who are advanced in math and the sciences but need help in language. The reason is that the AP classes start in 8th grade and they won't be able to take them.[/quote]

This claim is pure bullshite on many levels.

For one, neither you nor I nor anyone else on this board is privy to the reasons why students choose to try different schools.  To go around making wild claims of what Basis supposedly does "consistently" is completely out of line, just as are your claims of being "counseled out" - nobody is being asked to leave.

Secondly, you claim about AP classes also makes zero sense, as they give accommodations on language including for AP, such as supporting dyslexic students, giving extra time to take the test, readers and many other things.   Also, not every student takes AP courses in 8th grade.  In 8th they offer AP World History - but that is purely optional.
