BASIS 5th grade parent here -- I'm on the Yahoo Listserv, and I know a bunch of BASIS families and we obviously talk about the school and share stories of our experiences. That being said, I haven't heard that a new remedial English teacher is coming on. I feel a bit out of touch, I guess. How do you know that this new person is starting? What grades are they teaching? What's the long term plan for the kids needing remedial English. [/quote]

An English teacher mentioned that the remedial person will probably focus on 7th & 8th grade instruction, done via separate classes, starting in early 2013.  It doesn"t sound like there IS a long term plan, or a policy on tracking outside math and 8th grade+ science.  I wish something had been put in writing to parents about English tracking. Maybe the head is trying to steer clear of more controvery for now.  Wonder how it will net out if the entire second English track is AA, like Yu Ying's (highly likely).  If Basis could just start earlier in the elementary grades, or go with selective admissions, the MS wouldn't be having these problems.
