[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The test scores for MV, CMI, and IT.  There are a number of DCPS Title I schools with huge populations of ELL and at-risk kids doing better.  So why are these charters so popular?[/quote]

Because there are a number of DCPS schools doing worse. MUCH WORSE. And their performance stinks so much, that parents are willing to cross the city to try better luck elsewhere.[/quote]

The point is that there are actually DCPS schools that are much loathed on this site that are doing better than MV/CMI/IT.  Yes BETTER.  Just check some Title I schools and see for yourself.  Sure, there are some that doing much worse.  But, surprisingly, there are some that doing better.  So if people are willing to cross the city for these so-called HRCS, why not save the gas money and go to the neighborhood school? [/quote]

I know it's hard for you to wrap your mind around this, but many of us who understand education choose a specific modality. We aren't educating our children as if it's 1950 in cookie cutter classrooms where every kid is treated the same, no matter what they need. Do some research on educational practices. Try and keep up.
