[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a taxpayer and supporter of public schools I am outraged that Charter Schools weed out the worst behaved students while taking the cream of the crop. Then the Charter Schools gloat about how well they do. On the other hand I really feel for the well-behaved, poor inner city students whose parents are trying to get their kids a good education. They don't have the money for private school and can't afford to move. They have a right to an education without disruptive kids spitting, throwing pencils and snow globes in the class, hitting, biting, running in and out of the classroom,  and screaming as the "got to go" kids were doing on a very frequent basis. It was a win for those kids and parents who wanted a better education. How long would most DCUM readers who have kids keep them in a school where there were so many disruptive kids? I certainly would pull my kid out and pay for a private school. T[/quote]

I understand this, but people should stop gloating and praising charters for doing a better job. They are not. They simply do not have to deal with the difficulties that a traditional public school deals with. It's easy to say that the Latins, Basis, YYs and what not do such a great job. Yeah. Those schools don't have to deal with he educational or behavior issues often found in the students you described PP.

Signed, 
Charter School parent who did not want my child in the environment you described PP and knew that it was charter or parochial for my DC because I could not foot a private school bill. The charter experience is almost as equal if not equal to a parochial education. And yes, the charter school does make it difficult for some students to remain. They have their ways.[/quote]
