…a lottery for charter schools who do not actually have to educate the students they don’t want to educate. Look at schools like KIIP who kick students out that violate their very strict rules. Why do you pro-charter people want charters? Where are charters working outside of already failing urban districts? We need a re-vamp of our state tests and our teacher pay, not charter schools.

Charter mom again, and I don't know why I'm still bothering.  In my state, charters can't kick out students like that.  They must accept everyone who lotteries in, they must provide IEP accommodations, and they in every way function as a public school when dealing with behavior issues.  My kids' charter is, however, essentially open enrollment AAP which slows down for no one.  Teachers have office hours before and after school to help students who need extra help, and the school has a peer tutoring program.  If ultimately, the kids don't pass their classes even with all of this extra help, they still don't get kicked out, but rather they would need to repeat the grade level that they failed.

People will choose to leave the charter if they feel that it isn't a good fit for their kids, but that's to be expected when you have school choice and many other options.  [/quote]
