[quote=Anonymous]Just let me point out: the assumption that a city-wide lottery makes SWS like a charter is not accurate. What really makes a charter school like a charter school is its charter. This gives the charter school a remarkable degree of independence in curriculum, hiring/firing, budgeting and overall management. It makes a charter school flexible and able to adapt to changing conditions. In DC, charter schools have a city-wide lottery. But that certainly isn't true in other places around the country. So no. SWS is far from a "defacto" charter school. But is no longer a neighborhood DCPS school. It resembles Montessori, Banneker, Ellington and SWW in this way. So unless you consider those schools " de facto" charter schools, you can't consider SWS one.[/quote]
