[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We left an HRC for a Title I DCPS. The teachers are far more qualified, there is more structure and organization, and you have more recourse/supervision. For my kid with an IEP I have decided that I will never again do a charter. L[/quote] +1 For easier to hold DCPS accountable and get services your child is legally eligible to receive.[/quote] It can be easier. I had much better luck from a special needs perspective in a charter than DCPS, which didn't recognize my child's language disorder at all. Charter was immediately responsive, and hired an SLP who had specialized training in my kid's disorder (which is rare) to work with DC. DCPS wanted to bus my child 75 minutes from home and put in a self-contained classroom for children with intellectual disabilities. Not all DCPS schools are good, and not all charters are bad. And vice versa. [/quote]
