Charter schools were promoted as paragons of excellence against the 
failing public school system. Instead, they turned out to be a web of 
corruption and Basis is the prime example. About half the pupils are 
socially promoted for the show. The other half are graded in proportion 
to the amount of donations made by their parents and this is just the beginning 
of the corruption which, unfortunately, cannot even be summarized within the 
context of this site.[/quote]

Simmer down, Randi Weingarten.   :roll:

Charter schools were proposed for a number of reasons, and in DC they have been fulfilled.  Stop trying to use national results (largely influenced by teacher's unions) to argue against the irrefutable success of charters in DC.  They have fulfilled every level of promise.  (Imagine what they could do if they were fairly funded!  After all, they have better graduation rates, better academic results, better ability to close the Achievement Gap, better diversity - and all with lower SES than DCPS.)

If we really cared about educating our lower SES and/or high minority populations in DC, we would shut down every toxic DCPS (almost all of them, obviously) within a square mile radius of an at-risk child.
