[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a previous poster said, it is not that black & white. Some charters are doing a great job but some are pretty crappy. They do have an advantage over DCPS schools, besides more motivated families, in being able to limit enrolment and being able to get rid of troublesome students. [b]There is the unfortunate practice where they keep students until Novemver and then expel them.[/b] This ensures that they get the money allocated for that student and then the kid is sent off to their local DCPS school that has no choice but to accept them even though the money for that student has already been given to the charter school.[/quote] They need to change funding to make the money follow the child. At least all schools would be motivated to keep the child until the end of the school year. Alternatively, have two count days per year - one for each semester. [/quote]
