[quote=Anonymous]Stop pp, you are making too much sense.  In a city like ours where kids come from all kinds if families with all kinds of priorities and challenges and needs it is very difficult for one school/model/philosophy/teacher to meet every student.  If we have charters and special programs that allow families to find a good fit, there will be more kids getting a better education FOR THEM.

I get it that in this dysfunctional system, that often means kids who of course need and deserve an excellent education are "left" in dysfunctional schools with poor management ( NOT lack of resources, however. DcPs students are funded at a very high level. It's mismanagement that makes the schools poor).  However, I see that as a separate problem that requires urgent attention by honest, professional, switched on politicians and education officials.

But it is not Joe parents responsibility to forego the best possible foundation for their kids in the interest of somehow shoring up a failing system.  I guarantee that if DCPS put some thought into it and got some cojones, they could put in some innovative programming ala the charters that would get families back.from the charters in no time.
