[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has the worst teachers in the country, the goal should be to have more accountability over them not the teachers having leverage over families. I would also recommend [b]pta and parents hold the school administration[/b] and the teachers accountable, they have both failed the country.[/quote]

In no universe would teachers in a union have leverage over families. That doesn't even make sense.

In a charter school, the parent organization has ZERO oversight or role w/r/t the Administration. It is not like DCPS which at least has a veneer of accountability and transparency through the LSAT. Only 2 of a charter school's Board of Directors must be parents, and those parents are handpicked by the Board/Administration -- not elected by the parents to represent them. [/quote]

+1000. How can families hold a school accountable without a seat at the table of boards, ptos with actual leverage or unions representing teachers.  Especially when if you make too much of a fuss a Charter will simply boot your family from the school, there is no oversight or controls in place to prevent this. (particularly if you are not donating tons of money.)  Charters need more accountability and transparency for sure
