[quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that the charters school rose up because DCPS was such a disaster. Talk to older people in DC and they are happy to tell you of the abysmal state of the schools in the Barry years, and particularly prior to Fenty. The charters also generated an ability for middle class ("middle class" by DC standards, I mean, so between HHI of ~$80K to ~$200) families to remain in the district and get possibly decent education. DCPS can still improve individual schools and attract those families. They just weren't doing so in the "before" years. Part of that seems to be due to wild mismanagement on the part of both the DC government but also the WTU.[/quote]
