[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do realize that if everyone went to charters they'd be as bad as DCPS; because Charters don't take everyone they are able to work with the motivated, well-behaved, high achievers, and hard workers. Without DCPS you wouldn't have successful Charters!!!![/quote]

Not so. Charters are successful largely because they are freed from the dysfunctional central office mayhem of dcps. They can spend budget how they like, hire and fire who they like, limit class sizes, set whatever curriculum it school hours that work for their students and on and on.  They can make decisions and implement quickly without interference. Makes them flexible and responsive to their students needs.  There is a real difference in structure not just students[/quote]

You forgot to add that charters are successful because they can kick out the rowdy, disruptive, unmotivated students.  Well, they can kick them out after the head count.

A Charter Parent. [/quote]
