[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just read thread about BASIS segregating classess? Can't believe someone can think its helpful. How aweful!!![/quote] In this day and age, do you really think this is happening in the middle of Washington DC? BASIS organizes the classes based on ability as seen through grades/scores so that the students who refuse to learn their basic times tables aren't wasting time for the students who can do algebra. It's completely color-blind and fair to all. [/quote] Actually, Basis is fair in mathematics placement. So fair in fact that the school will administer another round of diagnostic mathematics tests in August to place returning students in appropriate classes, providing second chances for all students regardless of how they did on the final comprehensive exams.[/quote]
