[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want my kids to go to a school where disruptive kids and parents who don’t care can be kept or kicked out. That’s about it. If it’s a charter, that’s fine.[/quote]

Ok, great. But then don't come over here whining that the city doesn't allocate as much money to your charter that you selected specifically because they don't have to educate the "disruptive kids" or deal with "families that don't care." In quotes because it's way more complex than that, but I get you don't care, you just want schools segregated by income levels. [/quote]

Are you always this sanctimonious?

First, DC schools are lavishly funded compared to pretty much anywhere else in the country. The idea that DCPS is hard up is laughable.

Second, DCPS spends about $30,000 per kid versus about $17,000 per kid in charters. Do you really think there's a 75 percent difference in their student bodies?

Third, have you heard of Jackson-Reed or Deal or Janney? They're some of the most desirable schools in the city and the way we decide which kids get to attend them is we basically say "can your parents afford one of the $2 million houses nearby?" [/quote]
