[quote=Anonymous][quote]Could the Basis 'formula' be applied to elementary grades so as to reach younger kids? High expectations No prequalification required No excuses Carefully designed communication systems between parents, teachers and students, consistently applied [b]Teacher expertise valued over teaching credentials Student-centric: motivate for achievement not approval Funding sources[/b] The fact that the high expectations are framed around AP testing seems like the only thing an elementary school would not replicate. So who's going to start a Basis-style elementary (someone who really really cares about breaking the cycle)? Well, until the formula is proven successful, it isn't worth replicating. It has not been proven successful in DC and, therefore, has not been proven successful. Of course, everyone here is eager for it to be successful. We love Basis! But even those of us in love with the school understand that it has not proven itself yet. Yet! Go Basis! [/quote]
