[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't we have enough Charter schools. I think the direction the current most popular schools should take or the board should direct is to expand them. [/quote] Maybe some of our schools don't want to be expanded. We don't all want to be a monster Cap City. [/quote] Not only may some of them not want to, but the different combinations of factors that make some of them so popular and unique doesn't lend themselves to expansion in many cases. Part of what works is not being so large that the "character" of the school and the "chemistry" that makes it great gets lost. I will say this though, instead of bringing on many new charters, I'd love to see DCPS partner with PCSB and the successful charters to learn more about what makes them successful, and how to adopt some great lessons learned while still accomodating any unique great characteristics the DCPS school already has.[/quote]
