[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Aren't the students who are the most disadvantaged (those at the bottom) the proof in the pudding? [/b]

DCPS can't do the job for them.  Plain and simple, charters do more with less and produce better results.  [/quote]

No.  DCPS is their school of last resort, particularly for SPED.  They lack the social capital to make a better alternative work, and those with the social capital seek out best options like OOB spaces or charters.[/quote]

No. A DC government report released in November of last year found that DC PCSs now serve the [b]SAME NUMBER[/b] of students with disabilities, and a [b]slightly[/b] [b]higher percentage of students with Level 3 and Level 4 plans[/b] (the highest needs) students. http://www.dcpcsb.org/dc-public-charter-schools-serve-students-all-socio-economic-backgrounds[/quote]

OK.  so you pick one piece of that argument and ignore the "school of last resort".  DCPS gets the hardest cases.  That's a given.[/quote]
