[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the beginning of the end to charters which are the only possible pah to DCPS being marginally acceptable.[/quote]

Charters are not ‘acceptable’ because they pay teachers crappy salaries and don’t allow them to discuss things like classroom size limits with the school administration.

If a school can’t pay its staff a livable wage it is not a viable model and should be closed. [/quote]

Oh please... You want to know why 1/2 the students in this town go to charters?

Here is why. The majority of DCPS schools WOTP are poor performing.  DCPS is dysfunctional.  DCPS principals have only 1 year contracts and high turnover in leadership which is much worst than individual teachers.  Just look at the fiasco at JO Wilson now.  The city can’t even hire a competent chancellor, and this new one is already off to a bad start.  DCPS refuses to meet all students academic need especially those above grade level.  I could go on and on.

So until you make DCPS schools acceptable by acknowledging and meeting the needs of all students, get rid of the dysfunctional system with favoritism and backstabbing over competency, establish stable leaderships at the school, and when DCPS actually listens to parents, there will always be plenty of charters acceptable to lots of families.

Charters are far from perfect but many are far better options than many DCPS schools to many families.  You may not agree but 50% of the families in this town do.
