[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charters typically follow DCPS for most things that have risk and liability, such as closing for weather. I would be amazed if charters open before DCPS does, even though I believe schools should have been open since this Fall.[/quote]

This is one of the most sensible posts I've read on DCUM regarding this school year.  I just wish our charter school principal would tell us this simple truth, rather than presenting us with numerous and meaningless parental surveys.

Agreed. And, for me, it was helpful to understand the limits of autonomy. [/quote]

Are you saying that an anonymous poster on DCUM who seems to believe in a secret conspiracy of silence from their charter "heled you to understand the limits of autonomy"? Do you know what a low information voter is?

P.S. Q wants you to quit your job and home school all our kids. [/quote]

I feel like perhaps I'm responding to a low information voter right now! Ha. What on earth are you talking about?

There have long been debates about the benefits and costs of charter schools being independent LEAs or part of larger LEAs. Until the pandemic, I thought the benefits outweighed the costs and supported DC's approach. However, the pandemic made clear that charters, at least in this city, are not leveraging autonomy to make more creative solutions regarding distance learning or offering some in person supports. At least the school my kids attend is not.

For what it's worth, throwing about Q every time you encounter an idea or opinion you don't like isn't doing you any favors.[/quote]

Why do assume that because a school isn't doing what you want that they aren't embracing solutions? I guess we now know what happens to kids who are given participation trophys when they grow up. Your thoughts and feelings are not as valid as everyone else's. Sometimes you are wrong. [/quote]
