[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has the worst teachers in the country, the goal should be to have more accountability over them not the teachers having leverage over families. I would also recommend [b]pta and parents hold the school administration[/b] and the teachers accountable, they have both failed the country.[/quote]

In no universe would teachers in a union have leverage over families. That doesn't even make sense.

In a charter school, the parent organization has ZERO oversight or role w/r/t the Administration. It is not like DCPS which at least has a veneer of accountability and transparency through the LSAT. Only 2 of a charter school's Board of Directors must be parents, and those parents are handpicked by the Board/Administration -- not elected by the parents to represent them. [/quote]

It sounds like the [b]parents need a rep to hold the teachers and administration accountable.[/b] Not enough bad teachers are fired, imagine if the teachers created a union, further down the gutter.[/quote]

Those don't exist in a charter environment. And administrators like it that way.

Even the PCSB can't hold a school accountable unless it misses academic targets or grossly mismanages its finances -- and they often turn a blind eye to parent complaints saying it isn't their role (see LAMB post-pedophile and MV parents begging for the expansion not to be approved).[/quote]
