[quote=Anonymous]The thing about charter schools is they often market themselves more effectively than DCPS does, but that doesn't mean the teaching is actually better. Or they may be more attuned to the cultural preferences of high-income parents (crunchiness, more outdoor play, etc.) but that's not the same thing as excellence in academics. Lately some of the charters that once were very much in demand have come in for more scrutiny. Many of them are not especially impressive when you consider that their student body is mostly high-income. It's not rocket science to have upper middle class elementary-age kids performing on grade level, but they act like they're God's gift to the city.[/quote]
