Whoa, whoa - no one was suggesting a "large conspiracy." I was suggesting why some people dislike charters; maybe not you, but some people.  But to give a more practical example, some people might say, "Why open a school like Basis instead of creating more honors and advanced classes in neighborhood schools?" That's not a "large conspiracy" it's a practical school/curriculum question.

And, I'd rather not get into it, but we all know why Ward 3 schools are more successful than other schools and why there's been no charters; that is a different discussion - likely a discussion about income, poverty, and out-of-school experiences, not a discussion about whether charter schools are the best thing for a school system.

DCPS is free to offer more honors and advanced course but chooses not too even though DCPS has more money to spend than any other district in the country!!! Heck, [b]DCPS does not even acknowledge the need for gifted education[/b] as other states at least give lip service to the same need.[/quote]

That's just not true - http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-schools-insider/post/dcps-to-pilot-gifted-and-talented-program/2012/02/06/gIQAZvpFuQ_blog.html[/quote]

Oh.  A [i]pilot[/i], at [i]one[/i] school.
