[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, PP.  We are kind of just throwing out ideas though. I know charters don't work that way.  I'm just saying there a lot of reasons why I don't support building a new Ward 5 middle school, including the fact that Ward 5 has some charter schools that are doing it better already.[/quote]

Yeah well both YY and Stokes have children from all eight wards. Whose children would you like to kick out. The founders of the charters who do not reside in ward 5. How do you get around the charter rules asmthey are independent of DCPS. there are many families in ward 5 who were not so lucky in the lotteries. Why should they have to depend on lotteries. Why cannot DCPS provide the students of the ward with grate schools. Please don't say that the parental support is not there.  It is. Parents would rather their children attend a great neighborhood school than driving half way across town. Enrolling your child in a charter in an effort to flee the dysfunction of your neighborhood school is parental involvement 101. Driving across town every morning and afternoon is parental involvement 102. Building up the charters in lieu of the neighborhood schools is parental involvement 103. The parents and students are in ward 5. The schools are not.

We are in a good charter. However, my child misses  a lot when he cannot forge bounds with the kids in the neighborhood. All the children are going in different directions during the week (schools), and weekends (play dates, sports teams).   I would rather DCPS provide the schools in our ward, but not just any school.   We have enough of those already. [/quote]
