[quote=Anonymous]As a current teacher at a charter school, we are asked by our administration to do many things when enrollment season comes around. It's all about putting up a facade that we enjoy teaching there, that administration is helpful, and that kids and parents love the school. Don't be convinced by fake smiles or ridiculous promises made by the administration. Most likely they are lying to you. One of the most salient factors I use to evaluate the effectiveness of a school is teacher retention rate. If teachers stay at a school, then they most likely enjoy their jobs, have an effective and supportive administration, and enjoy the students. If the school is a revolving door for teachers, I would not recommend that any child attend such a school. These numbers should be able to be located on the DCPS or Charter Board website (probably on CAS or AYP documents), but a school will be able to provide you this information. If they hesitate, I would be skeptical.[/quote]
