[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS isn't opening new schools anyway, so what you're calling for is a moratorium on charters. The city is going to add about 45,000 school-age kids in the next decade if Office of Planning is to be believed, and it looks like all of them are going to go to charters. So a moratorium on charters makes no sense.[/quote]

It kinda does if you have DCPS and DC charter schools continually to be under enrolled "Except the sought after DCPS and DC charter schools". Remember so many D.C. kids go private and homeschool is on the rise especially EOTR. These 45,000 Kids expected to arrive are not going 100% charter. New schools arent the issue when schools are under enrolled. Students not attending them are the issue in both sectors. Lastly, at some point both sectors going to have to work together more as they both got strong points. Neither system "wants 100%" of the kids. Trust me on this as if DC Charters were the only school system in D.C. they would be having the same issue or worse than what DCPS deal with. [/quote]
