I don't mean this in a mean way -- I can certainly see where you are coming from. But I would suggest that if you kind of like the charter you're accepting, don't pull your daughter out to go back to the neighborhood school. I worry that kind of change one year to the next will be tough on kids. it's like we're all shaving for percentages, and they're in the first grade, or PreK. We're also in a neighborhood dcps school that is good enough, not perfect, and decided NOT to play the lottery this time. I wish more people would settle for good enough and help make all schools great. [/quote]

At some point you do start to put their education at risk. While all schools have to adhere to the common core standards not everyone gets to things in the same order or with the same depth -- especially if you're hopping from Montessori to traditional to expeditionary learning, for example.

There will be some gaps. Whether these are significant or not won't be known until later but moving a child from one school to another and discovering Larlo was behind in XYZ may not tell the whole story, since if Larlo had stayed put it would have been covered in October of the following year.[/quote]
