[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  Wow, 8 pages for what is really a total non-issue?  It's not as though staff kids would account for any meaningful percentage.  I wouldn't even expect more than single digits.[/quote]

NP as well, but PP previously doesn't get it.  People will do what it takes to get into HRCS (DCUMers should know what I'm talking about), so if a couple of SAH moms or dads with PhD or professional degrees would happily take 40-hour week admin jobs at $20k to get into the school. Multiply this several times over and you'll see the problem.

I say let teachers (and teachers only) have this benefit.  At least they have to earn their qualifications. Even better that the law would require them to be DC residents.[/quote]

PP you are exactly right about what people will do o get into certain schools.  And the PP you're responding to is acting like the most popular charters even HAD more than single digits for entry grades, when man did not.

I still disagree, I don't think anyone but founders and siblings should get charter preference, but if teachers are going to get preference, it should only be allowed in the teacher's 3rd year teaching at that school.  That would make it much more about to a demonstrated teaching commitment to he school.[/quote]
