[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So use common and show the academic ambition of public schools in other US cities, e.g. NYC, Chicago, Boston. DC could reinvent DCI as a hybrid DCPS-charter school with a different LEA.  It's been done in other cities.

If the DCPS Spanish immersion programs fed to DCI, we'd probably have a first-rate International Baccalaureate Diploma program in the city offering higher level IB Spanish within 6 or 8 years. At the rate we're going, we're not going to get that from DCI for, say, 20 years. The strongest Spanish students are sprinkled around in middle school and high school. Not impressive.[/quote]

Why do people always want to change what is already working instead of LEARNING from what works at DCI and replicating it?

DCI was created BY staff at the charter schools it now feeds into, and it should continue to be a feeder for those schools and then the remaining open spots go to lottery and are open to ANYONE.

If you think DCI is doing something well, advocate for DCPS to learn from it and REPLICATE IT.  Do NOT keep insisting that what works be altered to serve what's not working.  It is maddening and a total cop out instead of saying "Ok, what do we change about how we do the rest of the system and how do we change it?"[/quote]
