Anything about education:
Lets see I think that the idea of the BASIS program is a rather novel idea. I think that it definitely solves the problem of lower standards in the lower grades. The culture of the school seems to be one focused intensely on learning. This is good for challenging middle class students that are otherwise not challenged in school. While is think that this type of a good idea, I do not think that these types of charter schools are the beat all end all for the educational problems in the US. Specifically for my students, this is not a good solution because BASIS does not really address their situation. The thing about charter schools is that they can pass a lot of the students that have high needs along with no consequence. So what then happens to all of the students that cannot learn or do not initially want to learn? Should they be just passed off to another place. I think that this has been a fundamental problem or the education system thus far. People segregate their children from others in order to ensure their child’s education. The consequence of this is to systematically deny some a proper education.
