[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think DCPS is doing a great job making progress considering that, unlike charters, they can't IN ANY way "cherry pick" students. Or "counsel them out". [/quote] Out-of-boundary students can be sent back to their in-boundary school at the principal's discretion. Some principals use that power to "cherry pick" and "counsel out" students.[/quote] Technically, yes but at the elementary level this is rarely, if ever, done. Ive heard of it at Wilson in really egregious cases. [b] Dcps schools cannot cherry pick like the charters, not at all, especially with the new lottery system, its all very tightly controlled.[/quote][/b] Charters use the exact same lottery as DCPS. [/quote] True. These folks are using national, not DC, attack lines on charters ("cherry picking" and "counseling out"). For DC critics, it's usually "parking in my neighborhood" and "kids from Maryland."[/quote]
