[quote=Anonymous]My kids have been in DC charters for the last 13 years. One has significant learning disabilities. The charter elementary was able extremely flexible and went above and beyond to meet his needs. They contracted with a second SLP with expertise in his disorder just to work with him, and sent a learning specialist to get specific and expensive training over the summer when he didn't make progress in decoding for 6 months. DCPS, as a large system, could not and would not have been able to provide the same thing. We considered it -- but they were required to use the staff they already had, and the programs they had adopted and were unable or unwilling to change. I wholeheartedly agree that charter governance could be more responsive and transparent. But being smaller and more nimble has advantages too and wouldn't want to see that baby thrown out with the bathwater. [/quote]
