[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved the episode and for those who don't think that the same problems are happening in DC are just blind.  Charters regularly take a select population of students and kick out those who require more resources, leaving DCPS with more students who have more needs.  At the same time, the charters erode neighborhood schools leaving them with too small of a population to provide robust offerings.   [/quote]

meanwhile, actual data shows that is untrue

How many students with disabilities served by charters are adult students? Why isn’t this information broken out to enable direct comparison with DCPS?

It is *well known* in the DC SN world (just ask this board) that some charters give really strong IEPs and are much better for IEPs. Eg many charters will easily give a 1:1 and DCPS will never ever. [/quote]

Is there a reason the DCPCS numbers for students with SN do include adult students with SN while the numbers for ELL students do not include adult ELL students? How is a direct comparison possible with two different populations?

I don’t know. I’m sure you can ask a lot of questions about the data. But unless you think it’s all made up, it dispells the canard that “charters only take the top easy kids and kick the rest out!”
