[quote=Anonymous]Hmmm. While I feel for young J, it sounds like the big takeaways from his case are a) each charter school is different and b) any parent can get overwhelmed.

It's not the children that charter schools are trying to get rid of. It's the parents or guardians. Having seen some of this type of thing first-hand at a charter, I would venture that the problem is equal parts parents and teachers and admin who are in over their heads. l

There are definitely behavior management and family support issues that need to be addressed across DCPS and charters. But this does not sound like a representative case. There are lots of unanswered questions.

If DC had an education Ombudsman there might be a way to address the needs of the pinball kids who are being bounced around schools unnecessarily.

Hopefully things will work out for this child. In the meantime, a guerilla marketing campaign enlisting 8 year olds in a dispute among adults seems inappropriate and manipulative. Grownups should fight their own battles. [/quote]
