[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After watching my inbounds school for a while, it was never a competition between my inbounds and a charter.  It was charter v. private v. moving.  There was no way I would send my child to inbounds and be at the hands of DCPS's every changing experimentation.

The scenario that you discuss does occur in a few select schools, but not very many actually.  Someone insinuated that the charter proponents should look outside thier ward, but I actually think that it is the opposite.  The charters have kids from all wards, at least I know that ours does.  The people who have these sorts of siphoning off problems are mostly from Ward 1 or 4 and have decent, but not perfect options.  Have you considered the options of Ward 7 or Ward 8 students?  Without charters, there would be none.[/quote]

It is also true that people who want a progressive education choose charters over perfectly good schools and/or that people who choose charters would have left Dc and bought in  the suburbs rather than go public, so the charter is what keeps them in dc not what takes them from their neighborhood school.[/quote]
