[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not gonna take 10-20 years any more.  Too much is changing in DC now for it to take that kind of time.  We went from a demographic slump to surge.[/quote]

Sadly I agree with this and the more charters that open each year makes it more difficult, especially if they are K-8. [/quote]

:roll:  You've got the order wrong.  Charters are the only reason that higher SES families stayed in the city, and the only reason that DCPS had to be forced to improve.  Without charters, every school east of the park would like the schools east of the river.  Mind you, I still wouldn't send my children to an EOTP DCPS, but the fact that you're comfortable with it is a gift for which you should thank the families who send their children to HRCs and have tempted other families to stay in the city.[/quote]

Actually, you've got the order wrong.  DCPS hasn't improved beyond ECE, and any improvements that have come past ECE are because of parents who decided to go in and turn the school around.  The strong communities that have been built are what is keeping parents in the city -- not the chance of going to some unicorn charter.[/quote]
