[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a charter is better- then why? As a parent of a child in Janney (1st grade) we are happy but al1wys curious![/quote] We are at a charter and have friends who are in the JKLMs. I think my situation is better for our family for a lot of subjective reasons, but one objective reason would be the class size issue. We are set at a certain number and that number will not change. Meanwhile, those in the more desirable DCPS schools have to expand to serve all the IB kids they get throughout the year. This, plus many teachers don't even have an aide to help them. Our charter puts junior teachers and inclusion specialists in each ES classroom. There are two-to-three teachers in the room at all times and for PK that was for 18 kids. A very strong ratio that absolutely has an impact on a kid's overall experience.[/quote]
