[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So frustrated with Kaya Henderson right now.  At yesterday's hearing she claimed that DC kids should be 'funneled' to charters for Middle School because they do Middle School so well?  WTF?  Yes, there are some great charters that do middle school ok...I'd say that this is a small minority.  But instead of saying...we could learn from some of the charters, or that we need to really focus on this aspect of DCPS...she sounds like she wants to give up.

I have a student in a DC middle school and I'm not remotely ready to give up.

Good - maybe you can form a serious parent group against Kaya and her defeatism.  I've felt for a long time - just by her actions or non-actions - that her real purpose is to oversee the dismantling of DCPS, after which she will get a cushy job in the charter system.

COuld be that her statement at the council meeting was to see how the idea of MS charters would fly.  If it gets just a few negative comments on DCUM, but no action, then that's a signal that there will be no serious pushback.

Parents are the only ones with any chance of pushing back against the charter movement, but not if they remain passive or willing to send their kids all over town to attend a decent public school.  [/quote]
