[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think charters and more diverse school offerings are ultimately a good thing.  Yes, it divides the pie up a bit - but that in and of itself is not a bad thing.  Some kids may be a good fit for Yu Ying but not so good with Latin.  Some kids may be a good fit with Latin, but not so good with Yu Ying - and so on, and so on.  And it's not just charters, some kids are a good fit with DCPS but not as good a fit with the charters.

[b]As I see it, it's like pizza. [/b] Some kids like pepperoni, some don't.  Some like veggies, some just like it plain.  Some kids have a gluten allergy and can't a regular pizza.   And so on.   And many kids don't like anchovies.  So why keep putting nothing but anchovy pizza in front of them when you know full well that it won't work for many of them?[/quote]

The thing is, it doesn't matter how you see it.  The law requires public charter schools to educate all the students, not just the students they want.  When you get kids with disabilities?  You don't get to kick them out.  The law requires you to educate them according to their IEPs.[/quote]
