I think it’s true that JLG as a mayor will negatively impact charters. There is a constituency of Ward 4 and 5 parents plus WTU who believe that charters are now threatening the progress that DCPS has made.  They are smart enough to mostly keep their opinions off this message board, but they want EOTP students who are peeling off for the “good” charters to be rerouted into Wells, Coolidge, etc. They’re probably right, but it’s too 
soon to unwind the charter school system in DC. And I say this as a gung ho DCPS parent, “low standards” and all. [/quote]

OK but you cite no evidence other than “I think.”

Just more garbage posting.[/quote]

JLG is very clear that she does not like charters. It’s fair to say, “I don’t think she can do that much damage to them, and I overall prefer her/her policies to McDuffie and will therefore still vote for her.” Fine. Perfectly legit stance. But pretending that she’s not actually and actively hostile to charters is delulu. [/quote]
