What do the children who mastered the material do while the teacher provides remedial instruction to those that did not?  Twiddle their thumbs?  Is that their reward for having studied hard the previous year?

Exactly.  BASIS DC is not a magnet school.  Anyone can be admitted there, so there will be all levels of students, anyone from below basic to advanced.  I keep wondering how they are going to maintain their high achieving rate with under performing students.  Somehow those parents think that their kids are not at the right school; if they move their kids to a high achieving school then their kids will do much better.  While it may be true in some aspects, I don't think the school makes a student better achiever.

I wonder how BASIS is going to persuade you to leave if your student isn't up to speed.

Remediation will only be offered in the daily tutoring sessions before and after school and possibly in other ways but not in class from what I understand. There will be no twiddling of thumbs because Basis will [b]not[/b] be watering down the material. I think offering daily tutoring sessions both before and after school as well as other supports is more than adequate.

Basis will not be persuading anyone to leave. Again they offer over the top tutoring and supports and the opportunity to repeat a grade if necessary.[/quote]
