Don't hate the player. Hate the game.[/quote]

My wish for the new year is for people like you to explain this argument.  To believe your constant flow of trolling one would need to believe that all of us in HRCS are fools who have no idea that are  kids are being duped.  [SIGH]  [/quote]

We do.  You have been duped into siding with political forces that want to privatize (to either carve out little enclaves or either to earn profit from or have freedom from adhering to state guidelines or ALL THREE).

Fortunately, DC is much more aware and more active in holding charters accountable -- and becoming more so all the time -- but there is little denying what charters are in a nationwide sense.

So, yes, those of you in DC who reflexively defend charters across the board are misguided and misinformed.[/quote]

No clue from what useless think tank (or Teacher Union) you are writing, but I think you may have gotten confused and wandered into the forum on [b]DC Public and Public Charter Schools[/b].  Stop and read that again; I'll wait. "What charters are in a nationwide sense"?  I do not care about any grand conspiracy or the nature of charters across the country. I care about DC, and here in DC we have some great charters that afford many of us the option to have access to schools without moving to upper NW. Your political forces and privatization garbage doesn't fly here, since most charters are run by non-profits t hat operate one or two charters, not huge corporations.  Your BS about holding them more accountable also doesn't comport with reality.  The DCPCSB has always held them to account and actually closes schools.

In a way, though, I should thank you for your transparency.  I've wondered for some time how you and your charter-haters seem to know so very little about the DC Charters and have so little perspective on the reality of the DC schools system. Now I know; you know nothing because you know nothing. Cause the forum is [b]DC Public and Public Charter Schools DC Public and Public Charter Schools DC Public and Public Charter Schools DC Public and Public Charter Schools DC Public and Public Charter Schools DC Public and Public Charter Schools DC Public and Public Charter Schools DC Public and Public Charter Schools.[/b] Hoping repetition might help.[/quote]

You choose to reply with...semantics?[/quote]

Umm...I do not think that word means what you think it means.  Your reply talked about charters nationwide, the grand policy argument behind charters and privatization and completely ignored the reality of DC charters and the fact that this is a forum specifically about DC schools. I replied by talking specifically about the DC experience and the success here.

Do you think it is semantics to call out the fact that you full of crap and worried about an academic policy argument when most of us are concerned about educating our kids, our neighborhoods and our local schools?  [/quote]

Calling charter schools "public" charter schools is semantics when only the funding is "public" and the charter and compliance mechanisms are buried under layer of agencies, non- profit (and, yes) for-profit entities and conflicts of interest. (though note that from the beginning, I acknowledge DC is doing better and better in this category).

Calling me "full of crap" is rhetoric.

Shall we continue, charter troll?[/quote]

Seriously, I beg you, find a dictionary and look up "semantic". I assure you that you don't know what it means.

I called it a "Public Charter School" forum because [b]that's the name of the forum[/b], genius. What's really funny about your reply is that your feeble attempt to ignore the issue at hand and focus on the word "public" actually [i][b]is [/b][/i]an example of semantics. So while you seem not to understand semantics, you apparently have a well developed sense of irony, even if only out of ignorance.

Go back to your think tank and write a paper.  This is a local forum with a focus on DC schools. The high minded public policy arguments and implementation of charters generally aren't instructive to those of us who just want to educate our kids in the system in place here in DC. [/quote]
