[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nooooooooooo! Why can't we have just one charter that serves kids (er, parents) that want / need a more rigorous academic environment? It's like having a Chinese or Spanish immersion school -- they are not for everyone, but having them benefits many students, increases socio-economic diversity of DCPS, and benefits society as a whole. BASIS's proposed rigorous curriculum is no different -- it is a kind of an immersion in and of itself. Taking this opportunity away from students, especially low income students, is a tragedy. There should be no celebrating here. [/quote] Nobody is saying that a BASIS elementary school is a bad idea. The Charter Board just made the very responsible decision that a school wishing to expand should show that it can be fair and comply with the basic law before it expands to a large number of students. BASIS was apparently not prepared to do that. This is 100% on BASIS. [/quote]
