[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adding to 8:52 -- a charter would have to be large enough and wealthy enough that it could demonstrably serve anyone who decided showed up at their doorstep and wanted to attend at any time during the year (like DCPS) before they could even think about starting a school for advanced students. Just not practical given the funding and facilities situation.

DCPS does not even serve everyone and outsources by sending some kids to private schools. Then DCPS just blatantly ignores the needs of above average and gifted students by offering a curriculum geared towards struggling students. And of course FAPE only appears tom kids with disabilities which is unfair in my opinion since it should apply to all.[/quote]

FAPE is a federal requirement guaranteeing access to the curriculum.  THE FEDS DO NOT SET THE CURRICULUM.  It is actually a violation of federal law -- they are not supposed to interfere.  The curriculum is set by local entities.  You may have an issue with DCPS curriculum but please stop blaming that on special needs students.  If you want a different curriculum for your student work on that locally.  [/quote]
