[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even though you want it to feel like private school, charters are still just public school.[/quote]
Oh, how I love to see this in writing! I agree. Public school teacher and advocate here. I love how SOME charter parents want to forget that a charter is still public, and has to deal with the real DC community. Yup, it stinks having parents who do not care about education. And if you want to figure out how to engage parents- take a stroll on over to a DC public school and figure out how we do it.mis it perfect, no of course not. But we are dealing with the community you, OP, are trying to escape.
Also, why would you think of punishing a child for a parents lack of school commitment? Sure the parents may want 'free care' but their child is entitled to education, just like your kiddos are. Do not forget that education is first and foremost about kids. [/quote]

OP here - yes, this is my point exactly.  The parents' attitudes and commitment to a school are extremely important for the success of not only the school but of their children.  If a parent takes their child to a school they don't give a damn about the that does AFFECT their children.  How does a child feel if they know (either directly or indirectly) that their parent doesn't like their child's school?  No matter which school a fmaily enters into they should support it!  If parents come to a school on a daily basis upset about the fact that this is not their first choice, then how does that help the school community - how does that  help their child's education?  On the other hand if a parent/family comes to a school thinking positively - "well, this was not my first choice but I will be positive coming into the school on a daily basis" - then this will help the school.[/quote]
