[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am switching from a charter to DCPS this year. The school is low-income and lots of ELL kids with a tough principal but I really prefer being in a public setting [/quote] You do realize that charter schools are also "public" schools?[/quote] I'm not sure all charter operators realize (or act) like they are public schools. They certainly don't go out of their way to let parent organizations do anything other than raise money. They know better than us when it comes to issues of class size, behavior, etc.[/quote] They have independent boards that make those decisions. You can and should lobby them. [/quote] Independent boards consisting of Ed Reformers and consultants who make their livings off of charters. Many are more vested in long-term growth/winning market share from DCPS than the success of any particular school.[/quote]
