[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But PPs who are Basis parents compare it to their regular public school growing up. It can’t be so very difficult that no kid coming in via the lottery could handle it. It’s too bad no one even gets the chance. [/quote] Regular public school from 30-40 years ago was much more advanced than DCPS today. Also, no one has said that no kid coming into higher grade levels via the lottery could handle it. Enough kids couldn’t handle it that it’s not worth backfilling without an entrance test. It stinks for the kids who could handle it, but that’s an issue to take up with the local politicians who set the rules against any placement testing. [/quote] Not every kid in the lottery is coming from DCPS. Why doesn’t Basis take it up with the charter board? Because backfilling would be too hard!! Having ESL kids and kids with learning plans is too hard! Leave the hard things to all the other public schools. [/quote]
