[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charters can essentially pick their students through barriers to entry and subtle (and not-so-subtle) signals to parents who (consciously or not) choose to self-segregate. [b]Just the fact that they get more engaged families[/b] (who exercise choice) makes them stronger than your typical neighborhood DCPS.[/quote] and what exactly is a "typical neighborhood DCPS"? Many DCPS schools have very high engagement level. This just sounds like some pro-charter meme you pulled out of your ass.[/quote] They're more engaged by the very effort it took to research and get into a charter, i.e., they're not sitting back and taking the path of least effort (the neighborhood DCPS).[/quote] The same could be said for any student attending an out-of-bounds school in DCPS.
