[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, why can't DCPS just duplicate the successes of their own high-performing schools.  If anyone can't see that this entire report was one-sided then you must be a troll.

This comparison of charter schools versus traditional public schools is breeding contempt more than competition.  Also, it is a controlled form of union busting.  But I digress, it is all about educating all of the children in our Nation's Capitol and not just on the hill or west of the park.[/quote]

Because of the socio-economic differences in DC.  There's not enough middle-class kids with educated, motivated parents to sufficieltly populate all the schools.  If a rising tide lifts all boats, there's not enough tide, and too many boats.  [/quote]
o
I a big union supporter and a charter supporter--the teacher's union have to complete their mental shift into one of organizing--there are plenty of charter school in dc where teachers are treated poorly, have unfair discipline, and experience high churn.  Just like many schools in DCPS.  If the teacher's union came up with a stream lined contract that addressed the concerns of charter teachers while allowing charter's to be flexible and get rid of poor performers than there is no reason that a union for the charter movement couldn't be successful.  Unions have basically died in the private sector unless they have been able to change and innovate. Don't bitch about union busting, think about the problems many charter school teachers face and create a vehicle to help them address their problems.[/quote]
