[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because all this shuffle isn't doing much to make education, overall, in DC better. BASIS is the flavor of the month. It was Latin a couple of years ago, and Two Rivers before than, and Cap City before that. The only attractive middle schools are the one's where the FARM populations are below 30% and all of this has done precious little to improve schools for our friends in Ward 7 and Ward 8. [/quote] DCPS is an abysmal failure and a bottomless money pit, PP. It is broken beyond repair. Charters are not flavors of the month. They provide meaningful alternatives to DCPS. Charters now educate over 40% of publicly educated children in DC, at less than half the cost per student. If we are lucky, we will eventually have a sufficiently large and sufficiently varied smorgasbord of charter schools to offer every child in DC a public education that meets his/her needs and DCPS will simply wither away.
