I have worked in the best and worst charters in DC. AMA.

[Anonymous]

I have worked in four different charter schools in DC - including one of the absolute worst and one of the best and two somewhere in between. Any questions?

[Anonymous]

In what position(s) and in what specific schools?

[Anonymous]

How long were you at each school and what position did you hold at each school?

Why do you change jobs so frequently? Why not a traditional public school?

Based on your experience do we need charter schools? Any significant benefits compared to public schools? What contributing factors made one school better than the other? . Are the teachers in the worse school not as qualified vs the good one? For example more masters graduates vs bachelors graduates or it didn't matter?.

If you were in DC with kids (maybe you do have kids?) would you go conventional, charter, or private? Or move to MD or VA?

What charactertics did the best Principals have?

Compare the overall mood personality of the best and worse school. What contributed to each?

From the child's POV how much of a gap is there between the middle and the best?

Does % FARMS of the school have a day to day impact on the educational experience of a middle to upper income child?

What makes a charter the best or the worst?

Is high staff turnover more related to the pay scale or administration?

If you're going to do an AMA, you need to be AT THE COMPUTER.
