[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The city spends about $2,000 less per child in charters than in DCPS. For a school with 1,000 kids, that's $20 million less each year. You can hire a lot of teachers for $20 million. [/quote]

Wow. After a long and sometimes informative discussion of this, you've come here to spew a basic talking point that has been thoroughly critiqued in this very thread.[/quote]

Oh you mean all the lies spread by WTU? Stop. [/quote]

Everyone can see it with their own eyes. Take Latin, 2nd Street. One of the crown jewels of the education system in DC. Though it's one of the very best schools in the city, and though it has a wait list that's a mile long, the building looks like it hasn't been touched since 1960 and the teachers are paid a fraction of what those in DCPS make. Why? Because it's a charter so the city starves it of money. Meanwhile, a mile away is Roosevelt High School, which the city has spend a quarter BILLION dollars renovating and it's still a dumpster fire that hardly anyone who is eligible wants to attend. But it's still lavishly funded because, unlike Latin, it's DCPS. [/quote]

Funny you would say that about a school that just did a massive renovation for the Cooper building. Maybe that's where the money went. [/quote]
