[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Several months ago, one of the BASIS admins told me, a volunteer, that we "want half the MS kids to leave before HS on every campus because they're not cut out for the academic challenges ahead, and the federal charter law won't let us screen for the right types." The law, as written, is half the problem. Why not let BASIS create the charter versions of Stuyvesant, Bronx Sci and Boston Latin in various states and DC, as long as a good many low-income kids are being served in the process? What would be so horrible about that? [/quote] One observation, PP, is that BASIS MS provides a valuable educational experience even for kids who choose not to stay for BASIS HS. A highly selective MS would not provide the same benefit to kids who are not BASIS HS material, but are BASIS MS material.[/quote]
