[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If adding new kids, which most schools in this country do as a matter of course, is too haaaaard, what does that say about a school?  Are their teachers unable to handle it?  Are their students hostile and unwelcoming?

If attrition is so high that backfilling would be a large number of kids, why is that?  Maybe the real problem is retention.  Why are people leaving?  Dig a little deeper into these rationales, people.[/quote]

DCPS schools don’t have to add huge numbers of kids, just kids that move IB. Some principals will add more OOB for funding reasons. Charters have worked out funding and educational models that allow them to not replace kids. That kind of flexibility is the whole point of charters. [/quote]

Ok, but adding literally no kids-- not even siblings-- is pretty harsh.  "Flexibility"?  Or taking the easy path?

ITS denied a PK3 kid's twin sibling a few years ago, even though there was a spot, because it was after Count Day.  That's a cold way to treat a 3-year-old.[/quote]
