Teacher preference for charters

It's that same logic which allowed the Fenty twins to shoot to the top of the line even though they were OOB at Lafayette. If DCPS can do it then charters should too.

There were other components of Fentry twins. The school they were IB for only had 1 class per grade. Many specialists recommend that twins are in separate classrooms after early childhood education.

They are not the only children who were placed in a school other than West for this reason.

That may be, but Fenty's wife toured all the schools she was interested in and then got to choose. Subsequently, Rhee announced a policy of allowing high profile individuals to choose. That's a step above and beyond teacher preference.
