[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The way to raise the performance for charters is the way it's happening now. You develop a school that has such high expectations that it will encourage families to self select and discourage those who are struggling academically. That is what is happening with the likes of Latin, BASIS and now Sela.[/quote]

In effect, creating private schools using public money.

This is breathtakingly inappropriate.  You seem to be arguing that only those who can pay for a private school deserve to go to a school with high expectations.  What is wrong with you?[/quote]

S/he is entitled to her views. High expectations aren't the only issue. Creating academic stars in HS from kids who can't so much as score Advanced on DC-CAS tests lower down is no more feasible than producing musical prodigies from kids without much musical talent. Too many kids who won't bring sufficient academic promise will coast into Basis on lottery luck. True of all races and classes.[/quote]
