[quote=Anonymous]First of all, it's disingenuous to imply DC charters "kick students out for poor academic performance." In fact, the overwhelming majority of DC charters have very low expulsion rates, and the mythology of "counseling out" is largely fiction. While a small handful charters have had higher rates of expulsion and have indeed asked students to leave, it's unacceptable to cast the same accusation at all across the board as most do not engage in those practices. Second of all, a large number of kids who are struggling come from difficult home lives, where the parents don't bother to choose charters over their regular assigned DCPS neighborhood school in the first place. And third, those DCPS schools had to accept and teach all students long before charters came along, so now trying to blame charters for poor performance in DCPS is pretty ridiculous and unacceptable.[/quote]
