REGARDLESS, once again DCPS schools have to take anybody that shows up outside their door; whereas, the Charters directly or indirectly cherry-pick and then tout how much better they are than public schools. If DCPS could self-select who shows up at their door and only have students of motivated parents, of course their scores would be better. [/quote]

Yeah, it's all that math.  Can't have illegal immigrants coming in and finishing the books in twenty minutes.

Conspiracy theories aside, I'd bet this really turns out to be minor.  It's likely a misinterpretation of the in-boundary law, as mentioned previously, and will be corrected going forward.  I can't imagine that any charter has it in for immigrants, [b]many of whom come from far better school systems than DCPS.[/b][/quote]

That's an odd statement.[/quote]

Why?  Not all illegal immigrants are Hispanic.  Not all Hispanics come from the poorest districts.  Immigrants can bring very strong educational backgrounds with them.

Without statistics on immigrant charter applications by demographic, all you can do is make assumptions.  One assumption is likely just as flawed as another.[/quote]
