[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this point, charters are holding our local DCPS back. Would it be as good as it is without charter competition? Who knows. I do agree that DC parents have too much choice now. When competition is used to weed out bad restaurants, you just have people visiting a restaurant or two that the don't like. When you use a competition model to try to create school quality, you get a lot of churn, and the research shows that frequently moving kids from school to school is detrimental to them psychologically. None of the countries that kick our asses on those international tests try to achieve scholl quality via the market. People also have this illusion that LAMB and Yu Ying are real options. They take 2-3% of applicants. They aren't options.[/quote] Yep. Stanford's 5% and CalTech's 8%. This is a joke.[/quote]
