[quote=Anonymous]The above poster's comments demonstrate that much about choosing charter schools is not because someone's child was enrolled in a DCPS (middle) school, then pulled because it wasn't working. Rather, parents follow the hearsay to select "supposedly" better options, many not bothering much to check whether they're a good fit for their own beliefs and their children's learning habits. Charter schools have a role to play, but the very convenient "pile of scum and bureaucracy" mantra is no longer a good argument in support of them. They have to actually offer and deliver something and be accountable for what they advertise. Not to say that middle schools don't have a ways to go but advocating for "back to basics" in charters really isn't the way. If the countless cutting-edge teaching techniques don't suit someone's fancy, then maybe it's time to check back in with DCPS. You know, the saddest part of it all is that DCPS gets to suck up the disenchanted, whose children fell behind in a charter school experience that wasn't thought through by their parents or the system as a whole.[/quote]
