[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the challenges are:
1. The teachers union- they rather flex their muscle to keep the status quo than focus on educating the kids. Teachers can come in late and sleep during class and you can't get rid of them. Charters don't tolerate this BS.

Not true. DCPS teachers work hard to compensate for the next 3 items which are things that charters don't have to deal with.

2. Indifferent parents. This label is applicable to single moms from the hood and/or affluent gentrifiers who don't get involved.

Very true

3.Lackluster blase' programs. I want dual language expeditionary learning. A charter offers this and a dual-by-default Tools of the Mind afterthought can't compete.

Very true

4. Too many kids that need extra- poor SES that need extra services to get them up to basic par, too many kids that need ESOL, too many kids that need IEPs etc... We didn't have all of this baloney back in the day. Everyone's "right" to everything for free is collapsing the system.

Very, very true.
People need to get honest and/or wake up.[/quote][/quote][/b]

Damn poor people, just make them go away, it will be so much better if they could disapear.  Wow, now I feel better. [/quote]
