[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You call it “gaming the system” but making sure a student gets a 3 on one AP exam by senior year should be the minimum goal of all schools.  This[b] is not a high bar.  It’s sad that most schools don’t make “college readiness” more of a priority.  [/quote]

+1.  Basis is ”gaming the system” by having high standards?  That is a stupid argument.

DCPS doesn’t even require one AP class to graduate.  You can take an auto mechanics class instead.  No wonder most DCPS schools fail at preparing kids for college.[/quote]

Yes, that is basically their argument. These people spend an inordinate amount of time whining about access to BASIS's education on behalf of some underserved straw man. They don't actually care about the underserved who have access to a school like BASIS and thrive. This is DC in 2023. The important thing is performance art.

Tough talk for a school with an at-risk percentage of not even 8%.[/quote]

You don't seem to understand what is happening here. See, we're MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU. How are you not getting that? You are a performance artist more concerned with protecting the poor kids who aren't good fits for BASIS than the the kids who get a far better education there than they would at their IB school. But you don't care really care about 8% or the kids who are stuck in failing schools. You just want to burnish your Woke scores and show how enlightened you are.

tl;dr And?... [/quote]
