[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a charter school parent so know the first hand appeal that charters have for many families compared to struggling neighborhood schools.  That said, I find the DCPS bashing and snide comments really sad--I want the system to succeed and I think it is GREAT that principals are going door to door.  I would hope my fellow charter school parents would also absolutely root for success in DCPS.[/quote]

+1.  I don't understand why so many posters are rooting for a total demise of neighborhood schools.  I too am a charter school parent.  However, I dread the extra commute and wish(ed) for better options in my neighborhood.  DC is currently in DCI feeder and I know it will be close to impossible to get uptown to Walter Reed and all the way back downtown to earn a living. I may as well move to the burbs if I am asking for that kind of commute.   [/quote]How about teaching your kid to use public transportation?[/quote]

You are free to put your 11 year old on a one-hour plus multiple bus ride to cross town alone. I choose to parent differently, and not to subject my child to  such dangers and hassles at such a young age. We need better local schools in closer proximity to our homes. [/quote]
