[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm impressed that some of you are just waking up to understanding that nothing you say will do anything to move your charter admin's decisions.[/quote]

Not at all surprised by that. Just never expected the administration to be so out of step with mainstream, progressive thinking.[/quote]

+ 100.  I think our ED is otherwise smart and strategic but will never understand the extreme and out of touch Covid policies.[/quote]

It's become the test for which schools have a strong leader and which have a weakling.[/quote]

It has.  But it shouldn’t take much strength to follow DCPS, the CDC, and the rest of America (and world for that matter…).  This is some crazy bubble we are in.[/quote]

Independence means making your own decisions. What’s the point if they just follow DCPS?[/quote]

Again:  Surely there are limits in the idea about independence?  Should, say, a charter be able to get public funds if they teach that the earth is flat?  How about a punishment system that involves paddling?

The idea about charters was about different styles of *education*, not public health.[/quote]

If you think, here in DC, the idea is still about different styles of education, you haven’t been paying attention. That was a long time ago. Now it’s about autonomy - freedom from mayoral control, standardized testing, unions, bureaucracy.

Your charter is it’s (your) own LEA. So go tell them what you want and see how nimble they can be.
