[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not a Bowser fan by a long shot but, no, I don’t think her goal is to destroy public schools.  Why can’t you just say you strongly oppose her approach to them?  Hyperbole only weakens your argument.  [/quote]

because OP (and Laura Fuchs) don’t actually want to have a conversation about what works best to educate kids in DC. They have an extremist, pro-union, anti-charter ideology.

people who actually care about kids in DC can see for themselves the plusses and minuses of charters. Clearly many families in DC are satisfied with charters (of every race/income level) and plenty of charters seem to do a solid job based on test scores. We’re in DCPS and based on conversations with my friends in charters, the flexibility of charters can provide a lot of advantages. otoh we are very happy with the curriculum and structure of our neighborhood DCPS and the excellent teaching staff with minimal turnover, no doubt in part due to the better wages than charters AND the school being wealthy and more attractive to teachers. There’s a lot of nuance but it’s clear charters are here to stay and provide a positive resource in DC to a lot of kids. [/quote]

Wait. Who let the rational, clear thinkers in here?  [/quote]
