[quote=Anonymous]In a lot of places, charter schools are a tool used to undermine, defund, discredit, and in many ways, destroy public education. In DC, this is NOT the case. If you're posting here, on a DC parents forum, and are posting a non-nuanced, complete rejection of charter schools, you better have a kid who is currently at or has already graduated from, an EOTP DCPS middle school. Or you have no idea what actual parents who live in the majority of DC are actually dealing with. Send your kid to Cardozo Middle School, then we'll talk. Charter schools, and in particular, the DC Public Charters, are not a panacea, neither all they all together bad. For parents, for integration, for equity, for students, and for the district as a whole. DC schools face an enormous numbers of challenges, and to respond to the current system with "Charters = Bad" is woefully narrow-minded, and given the demographics of DCUM comes with HUGE privilege.
