[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BASIS works well for certain families, but, make no mistake, they pick their horses. If your horse isn't one admins want to bet on for whatever reasons, good luck to you. I don't like the system, having gone to a public middle/high school where esprit de corps was the bedrock. Nobody who [b]cleared[/b] [b]the[/b] [b]admissions[/b] [b]bar[/b], turned up for class, and obeyed state law came under pressure to go. The school was Boston Latin and we weren't short on diversity either. [/quote] I also attended a magnet high school and this is the entire problem with the system in Washington DC public education. No actual admissions standards that aren't somehow manipulated. And no official admission standards allowed for charters, other than bad locations or immersion, etc.[/quote] Walls comment above.
