[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think part of the puzzle has to be giving DCPS principals what charter schools have, the ability to expel students who aren't able to learn in the environment and prevent others from learning. That doesn't mean throwing them out on the streets or into reform school, it means having a place for them to go where their needs are met. That costs money too, but it's small money when you look at the other options and how much has already been spent on modernizing schools that aren't attractive to large numbers of families.[/quote] I often wonder why there's never talk of a vocational school within DCPS. Charters are doing it with success. I think our culture is so focused on test scores and college as markers of success that we've forgotten the original objective for public education was training a workforce.[/quote]
