[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rather than whining about who's giving what, if you want to level the playing field, maybe you should instead be lobbying for schools to get more funding across the board in the first place, so that there isn't as much of an issue with families donating.[/quote]

+1. This thread, coupled with the ones about aftercare costs really highlight the need for more charter school funding. With 43 percent of DC kids in charter schools, it's too late to hope to starve the beast. Our best bet to to ensure parity so that all kids who wind up at charters reap the full benefits of the offerings.[/quote]

sorry, but why just charters? my kids are in a DCPS elementaruy school (not a title 1 school), and there is no free aftercare. there are two privately run aftercares that cost $$$. if you can't pay, you are welcome to pick up your kid at 3.15. the issue about aftercare cost concerns also DCPS, not just charter schools. [/quote]

The issue is that charters get less $ per pupil than DCPS, so some charters use aftercare costs to make up the difference. I agree that it would be great if DC could do something about aftercare across the board as the two-income family is the norm now.[/quote]
