[quote=Anonymous]I thought Bowser was terrible when it came to the schools but the Council has proved itself to be worse.  A few loud and very privileged parents pushed for this and the Council gave in to them. That is a stupid way to “govern” and does not recognize the realities of limited budgets, limited staff, etc. we were PISSED OFF that our charter NEVER opened last year. Our kids suffered immensely and the charter leadership no staff did not give a crap. They 100% failed our kids - there was absolutely no innovation, and a lot of mailing it in virtually. If we could buy our ways out of public school like our richer friends, we would.  The public charter sector is a mess with their autonomy and flexibility and the complete lack of accountability and DCPS is a mess, too. All on the backs of a majority black and brown student population. It is disgusting and having more kids sit at home is not the answer.  Mandate vaccinations for kids and use the millions of extra dollars to add teaching staff to schools so that students can receive the attention they need and deserve. And, iif parents choose virtual, they definitely should not be permitted to keep their seat at any particular school. DCPS has their virtual academy and the charter sector has Friendship which provides online school. Those are the options.[/quote]
