[quote=Anonymous]Agree with most of the PPs. Charters are an alternative to neighborhood schools and they have worked fantastically well in DC. But they are still, at base, public schools, and while it would be wonderful if every school could have an engaged, upbeat, can-do attitude, involved set of parents, that's just not how it's going to be. Some will complain because the school doesn't live up to their expectations. Some will send their kids for free care and not give a crap about engaging. Some will post anonymous negative things about their school on message boards. Some will be loud, engaged complainers, and assholes to boot. That's the nature of public education. If you want to control who gets in, give an obscenely large gift to the endowment of a private school, buy your way onto the board, and then get in the admissions department's business. What? Can't afford that? Neither can I, so we will have to take the good with the bad.[/quote]
