[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general I am not a fan of charter schools and want to avoid opting out of DCPS in the anticipation of issues like I see so many other families do.  I think many schools are amazing individually but have issues with their cumulative impact on the larger system.  I believe our local schools would be stronger if everyone was invested in the inbound schools.  I would not keep my child at a school not meeting their needs but am not interested in stressing over optimizing their experience by finding the absolute best school.

All that said doing the lottery for 5th grade at Latin is tempting.[/quote]

Please stick with DCPS. All of the "not a fan of charter schools" until it comes to your own child is ridiculous. Stay in DCPS and make it better. Or use your resources to send your child to private. Or move. Leave charters for the folks who understand their positive impact on the overall system and do not have other choices for safe, academically thriving public schools.[/quote]

Blaming charters for DCPS's ridiculous dysfunction is a bit rich. Charters were created because people got sick of dealing with DCPS's ridiculous dysfunction. If charters disappeared tomorrow, DCPS would get worse, not better. The competition between the two systems does everyone good. [/quote]
