[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are kindergarteners! In school suspension is not going to help.

Why on earth would a charter not have children with behavioral challenges? If anything traditional public schools generally have larger staffs and more experience. And DCPS is a large LEA with many options. A charter LEA isn't going to have alternative classrooms available.

Because many of the clientele at charters are "self selecting" ie they come from families who care a great deal about education, research various options, visit multiple schools., review test scores, play the lotter--these are committed parents who are less likely to have kids with major behaviroal problems that are often evident in the lowest performing poorest schools in DC.[/quote]

what?  behavior issues are not the result of uncaring or underresourced parents.  One of my children has got some issues and can be disruptive.  We are high ses and very involved parents (both of us) doing everything we can, and yet our kid is a mess at a popular charter (on likely on your list).  Don't think you can lottery yourself away from problem kids.  BTW, at a 26,000 a year private we went to there was a lovely family (diplomats with a sahm) whose kid was a REAL problem.

It is ALL in the way the school is equipped to deal with the disruption.  MV will be fine, but they need to do some hiring/training and STEP IT UP[/quote]
