[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a lot of people want and get a suburban school is ease and peace of mind -- you buy a house and send your child to school. That's it, that's all the choice there is. And they're happy with it. There's no lottery, no charters, no stress about switching schools at K, 1st, 5th, middle school or high school. People seem to tout the charters and lottery system of DC as a feature. It's a bug.[/quote] I'm not a charter parent, but I do think we can thank the charters for spurring change across the board. If nothing else, it has forced the city to look at, and then close, some failing and vastly under enrolled schools. It has added competition to DCPS schools and a variety of options to all families.
