[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are kindergarteners! In school suspension is not going to help.

Why on earth would a charter not have children with behavioral challenges? If anything traditional public schools generally have larger staffs and more experience. And DCPS is a large LEA with many options. A charter LEA isn't going to have alternative classrooms available.

Because many of the clientele at charters are "self selecting" ie they come from families who care a great deal about education, research various options, visit multiple schools., review test scores, play the lotter--these are committed parents who are less likely to have kids with major behaviroal problems that are often evident in the lowest performing poorest schools in DC.[/quote]

Yeah rich kids never do anything naughty. *eyeroll* [/quote]

good grief. Of course high SES kids act out. But the parents are often very engaged and working with the school to deal with this. Its just a fact that schools with the highest FARMS rates have the the most behavioral issues. Just a fact. No eye rolling needed. [/quote]

Well that means MV is quite exceptional then doesn't it? MV has a pretty low FARM rate, yet the things that are happening are downright scary. Kids going to hospital, breaking bones, getting teeth knocked out and not being reported to parents. Let's stop quoting stats and deal with the matter at hand.[/quote]
