[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh please. Charter schools shouldn't have to exist, but they do, and are hugely successful at educating underserved populations in DC. Some Democrats [/quote]

"Hugely successful" overstates the case. I will concede that some charters are a lifeline for families whose neighborhood school is unsatisfactory. There are some good charters but overall they aren't any better than DCPS. [/quote]

Charters are great! But they shouldn't have to be great at the expense of our neighborhood by-right schools and we shouldn't be making them compete.

Those things are entirely separate from DFER which is a completely shady dark money org and has successfully brokered us into a terrible place. If you care about supporting neighborhood schools, you don't support DFER candidates. Matt Frumin has been working for common sense reforms that would immediately solve so many of the conflicts between charters and neighborhood schools for as long as I have known him. We can have both. We should have both. DFER seems to just want to create more and more charters to line the pockets of overpaid administrators and funnel more money to educational consultants.
