[quote=Anonymous]You should look at Cap City’s re-opening plan and then decide.  No skin in this game but we have been at a couple of different charters and going to. Charter that is new is not for the faint of heart. Cap City for sure misstepped by not opening in this final quarter, but I am not convinced that there is a LS exodus that is a problem, based on my friends there. Their LS kids have had teachers who have been there multiple years and are solid teachers and the re-entry plan says they are hiring more LS teachers because they are resulting down the size of their classrooms, so going from two classes per grade to three.  In 1st - 4th grade, the will have two lead teachers in each room. This sounds good to me, especially after the year the kids have all had of so little school. My family and friends in education say this is a great idea.  Montessori is just a completely different model - and new and untested.  But I also know from my years as a public school parent that parents here in DC equate more white students with a better school so if Breakthrough is “whiter” than Cap City (I don’t actually know)  that is where DCUM parents will flock regardless of whether the school is right for them or their kids.[/quote]
