[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Totally disheartened by a system that gives you the impression of great choices but then dangles them in front of you like candy you can never reach. This is not how charters are supposed to work, is it? Why can't they expand to absorb the crazy demand?[/quote] Schools can't necessarily maintain quality if they expand. More kids means more administrators, more delegating etc. Immersion schools are also having trouble finding qualified teachers who are fluent in the language. Charters pay less than DCPS, which pays less than MoCo. It's a lot of work to open a standalone school and comply with all of the mandates: meals, IEPs, playground space. Most new charter applications come from the giant operators like KIPP, wFriendship, DCPrep, etc. who have economies of scale for all of the administrative stuff.[/quote]
