[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, inexperienced teachers benefit greatly from having a majority of experienced teachers around to show them the ropes.

It's not obvious that this is the case at Basis.

You obviously don't know much about BASIS.  You might be able to make those kinds of comments about a school starting up from nothing in a cold, empty vacuum, but that is not the case with BASIS.  They already have over a half dozen well-established schools with an excellent track record, schools which are filled with plenty of experienced teachers.  Some of the staff at BASIS DC have come from those established, experienced schools, and the new hires spent time over the summer in Arizona with the experienced BASIS teachers and staff at those established schools and have a broad base of expertise to draw upon as mentors.  The folks running BASIS are not at all new to this game, and already know quite a bit about running a school - the model they are following in DC is the same model they used to start up their other schools, it's a model that's already been tried and tested.[/quote]
