[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe the charters in DC now educate almost half the students.  And they’ve seen improvements in test scores in traditional public and the charters. Huge success, I would say.

MoCo is changing and maybe what always worked historically doesn’t work today. [/quote]

Philly has also seen benefits from charter schools.

Charters or not, MCPS needs to undergo some major changes.[/quote]

Most of MoCo is suburban with families that have two parents who are highly educated and dual income earners. I do not expect to be treated as if I am in the same boat as large poor urban areas (DC. Chicago, New Orleans, L.A., Philly, Baltimore)[/quote]

But a large portion of MoCo is similar to those urban areas. [/quote]

LA educated families demanded charter schools. LA went from a top performing public school district to below average, families pulled out via moving or private/parochial, LA countered with charter schools, educated families went to those. LA continued to be below average test score for years and now way below as illiterate, unskilled, uneducated families surpassed the 50% mark of the community and public school district.

Now they have the worst performing schools in the nation, getting shoveled a ton of tax payer money with no results. Teachers union wants more money, but keeps delivering less teaching/student learning results. [/quote]
