[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bike lanes, [b]charters ... sounds like what has worked in DC. [/b]Why can’t we try out something new in MoCo?[/quote]

Again, charters have [b]not[/b] outperformed traditional schools in DC.

[b]"Washington DC charter schools did not significantly outperform public schools or even match them on the last two years of PARCC testing."[/b]

Correct. However, both the public charter schools AND the public schools show improvements in test scores, some as high as 10%. That is a good thing.[/quote]

Okay, but it does not support an argument for charters, since they don't perform better than traditional schools.[/quote]

I disagree. [b]The competition and reduced overcrowding have arguably led to better results in traditional public schools and the charters. [/b]And frankly better results for the students. It’s not all about test scores.[/quote]

DCPS wasn't crowded to begin with.  No way to prove or disprove whether it's urged DCPS to step up its game.  I know Republicans love charter schools, but the evidence does not suggest that they lead to better academic performance.[/quote]
