[quote=Anonymous]NP here - the "free care" gripe that I would have is that the charters don't have as much funding as DCPS schools do toward freebies. If people want to get more freebies from their schools, they should either be lobbying their politicians to get the mismanagement sorted out at DCPS schools, or if not to shift more funding over to charters so that they CAN offer them. Otherwise, it's boosters who are often shouldering a lot of that burden for the extras. Money for a lot of this stuff doesn't just fall out of the trees, and people should be aware and considerate of that. Secondly, the other gripe I would have is that some parents just seem to apply to whatever charter they can get, as opposed to parents who are specifically interested in just one charter, for example for language or other specialized offerings. If you aren't interested in the specialized offerings, then please don't clog the process unnecessarily for those who are.[/quote]
