[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, let's lobby our politicians instead, demanding that they ensure that all kids in this city are provided with the inputs they need to reach their academic potential.  Let's also demand that DCPS copies our near neighbors in the burbs, creating strong by-right comprehensive middle schools appealing to MOST in-boundary parents. Expecting charters to do the job is ridiculous.[/quote]

Charters are supposed to be proving new models for schools that can do better than the traditional school system. T[b]hey are absolutely not supposed to supplant the traditional system.[/b] In a city like DC, that should mean charters that find ways to teach kids who the traditional system has failed. Educating students who would be just fine in the traditional system isn’t the point.

We need the at-risk preference and/or set asides. And as the MSDC analysis has shown, that preference must be the top preference - ahead if staff and sibling to make a difference. [/quote]

The Republican legislators (and their donors, like DeVos and DeVos and the Waltons) who forced DC to accept a huge charter sector absolutely DO want charters to supplant the traditional public school system.

Their whole plan is to destroy public schools so they can privatize them, making money on charter schools while also cutting taxes on themselves.

Just check out this speech Mr. DeVos gave in 2002 at insane rightwing think tank Heritage.

The best part about the speech is how he embraces lying to us about their real goals while trying to advance charters.
