[quote=Anonymous]ITA. Give it a rest already. I know AA kids who are perfectly capable of doing the work at Basis and do. They have the benefit of involved, educated parents and of having attended well-regarded elementary schools. It surprises me not at all that children who came to Basis from some of the more abysmal DCPS elementaries cannot do the work. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with what opportunities those kids have had (or not had) up until now. And it sounds like Basis is trying to educate those kids---by taking the kids who aren't scoring proficiently and breaking them out into remedial classes geared towards getting them up to speed as quickly as they can. I have a SN kid with severe dyslexia and I have never understood parents who rail about their kids being pulled out for special help. I want my kid pulled out as much as possible because it is only in the intensive small group environment that DC can get the help he needs. [/quote]
