[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I wouldn't be surprised, though, if there was talk of a new charter opening in your neighborhood, giving your neighbors the option (if they get lucky in the lottery!) of a good ms/hs without having to do the work of getting DCPS to cooperate with getting a good neighborhood school up and running. I hope I'm wrong, but I think DCPS is more eager to help charters than it is to help parents. Keep that in mind when dealing with them.[/quote]
 
PP here and I don't agree that DCPS wants to help charters......

Whether or not you agree is not the issue.  I am speculating and ask you to stay alert to signs that DCPS is supporting charters.[/quote]

What are the signs that DCPS is supporting charters?  Not a facetious question.[/quote]

1) that they close schools rather than try to help improve them -- making a new charter opening in the neighborhood very attractive.

2) That Kaya said in a city council meeting that charters know how to do middle school, so perhaps that should be left to them (this is after her friend and predecessor, Michelle Rhee, unilaterally closed some middle schools and opened  grades 1 to 8 educational campuses in their place).  Thus, it looks like they purposely destroyed middle schools, then propose that charters take them over.

3) Just a hunch based on the above and that their original plan to reform DCSP failed, plus they got caught cheating -- so why aren't they out? Because, let's say, they can stay as long as they cooperate with the move to convert DC to a charter system.  Kind of like Vichy France.

4) then  the DME boundary study comes out with options that seem to play off parents proven willingness to get their kids to schools in distant neighborhoods.

A lot of speculation, but worth keeping in mind, I think, as things progress.
