[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charters do not deserve more money and petition all you want, they will not get it. That is the price for privatization of public education. It is the choice of individual schools to pay teachers that way.
They receive the SAME per pupil funding. DC is not paying for charters habit of spending less on teacher than dcps.[/quote]

Why do you not want to retain teachers?  Why don't you support paying teachers more?[/quote]

I AM a teacher, who used to work at a charter. Ultimately having no union just so the school could kick ‘difficult’ kids out whenever doesn’t work. And before you cry, yes not all charters are bad.
Those teachers have the choice to move. No union, no higher salary. And with all this teacher hate, dislike, blame on this forum please don’t act like you care about teacher salary. They COULD pay their teachers more and charters choose not to.
They choose to use it for corrupt purposes or choose to have more staff. Individual DCPS schools do not get that luxury, if they want more staff they have to beg or if you are at a school with donors perhaps you can afford a few paras or a teacher or 2. (The latter is also not unique to DCPS.)

My charter colleagues do deserve to be paid more, how about you tell your charter to pony up the money? They do not get extra funds just for being a charter, if that’s the case it’d show clear favoritism for charters. [/quote]
