[quote=Anonymous]OP here. That’s right. Having been to a million open houses pre-pandemic and seeing kids at all of these schools, it’s clear that different schools have different bells and whistles, but aside from Montessori, they’re all about the same and complex missions and teaching approaches get in the way of solid instruction and comprehensive curricula once you get past teaching the basics. We know many kids in older grades, so have been able to track what they have been learning (and not learning) over the years. If you genuinely have an “any school will be fine for my child” attitude, then you need bells and whistles to distinguish one from the other. But inexperience and turnover among teachers is a non-starter for us. Many charters treat their teachers VERY poorly, and that is not an environment I want my child learning in. Or supporting by enrolling. I hope the families that take these seats are happy for years to come, but I also urge them to look past the marketing and think about why the test scores and teacher retention rates are what they are. Somewhere like MV may be better than your local DCPS, but don’t assume it is just because the waitlist is longer.[/quote]
