[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree about politicians and unions being the push behind this for sake of "equity". It is more so parents that actually live next to desirable charters that want in. [/quote] The DC Council understands charters but wants to scratch the constituent itch of "why can't I have a high-quality school I can walk to?" Multiply any well-meaning attempt to make this mostly neighborhood school option happen NOW in every reasonably well-connected neighborhood and nothing much good can happen anywhere. Specialized charters are destroyed first and the others follow. The children of DC are worse off and the tax base growth goes down or flattens.[/quote]
