[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BasisDC is only an issue because of broader systemic deficits in DMV education, social, and economic life — deficits that are, in many ways, mirrored nationally. [/quote] No it's an issue because the BASIS franchise wasn't started and isn't run by educators. Best practices in education don't concern BASIS. It's also an issue because the management is ridiculously top down across the franchise and DC. No PTAs allowed, non-unionized teachers many young and inexperienced, crappy building, few electives, weak high school ECs, no real performing arts education (zero music). Fine science education and better than average math, I'll give BASIS DC that. [/quote] If DC was rich with UMC-acceptable middle and high school alternatives, Basis (whatever it’s issues) would be a non-factor, perhaps a mere curiosity. [/quote]
