[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which is why charters aren't the answer. Taxpayers don't have a say in how they're run. There's almost no accountability.

Seriously? Because Basis doesn't cater to immersion students it shouldn't exist?[/quote]

No, because its inflexibility means it can't serve most of the students originally chosen by lottery, as evidenced by high attrition.[/quote]

Which brings us full-circle to the constant lament that there’s no test-in middle school program.

In the absence of a test in program a little more self-selection by parents would be helpful.[/quote]

Boston Latin graduate who agrees with this.  But the problem with BASIS is that self-selection only gets you so far. My kid did algebra in 6th grade without a problem, made 90s club, yet disliked BASIS by 7th grade.  He wasn't getting nearly enough fresh air or fun, had no chance to perform (which he loves) at school, too much busy work homework, had too many inexperienced teachers giving us all headaches.[/quote]
