[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, since BASIS hasn't been open long enough to have administered their famous comps, we have no idea if they *should* have kids "doing" Algebra II or Pre-Calc in 8th grade.

Mostly, the BASIS PR machine needs to slow itself down until it can prove it's a good school. Right now, it can't. [/quote]

Nonsense.  The eight kids in Algebra II this year (ranging from 6th to 8th grade) are all doing well.  Most, if not all, will pass the comp.[/quote]

Stop right there. TMI. The only people who would, or should, know this much detail on the 8 kids are teachers or staff. It is unprofessional and inappropriate to post this type of comment with easily identifiable information. If PP I'd a parent, then this is speculation. And also irresponsible.

Find another way to boost.[/quote]

I'm a parent, not the teacher.  The Algebra II teacher stated clearly at the start of the year that he reserves the right to send kids who are not doing well back to Algebra I.  No kids were sent back to Algebra I after the first grading period.  Also, DC reports on how other kids are doing.  Finally, I'm pretty sure that off of the Algebra II kids in DC's class (half the class) made the "90%" club and the Honor Roll.[/quote]

Meant "all of".[/quote]
