[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very sad, I'm glad she has professional legal representation.

This is the dark under-belly of charter schools: they try to act like private schools and abdicate their responsibility to educate children with disabilities. I doubt Stokes is the first or the last.[/quote]

And glad that WLC is taking a more aggressive approach.  Five year ban, come on!  I could understand even the remainder of the school year as a cooling-off period.  But this is a naked attempt to get rid of people.  Yes, at-risk families can be challenging.  But charters need to do their share of the work.  Not just send them back to their IB and carry on talking about how much DCPS sucks.[/quote]

Dcps DOES IN FACT suck so there is that. [/quote]

Sure it does, but it's galling how the charter sector loves to crap on DCPS while also sticking them with the hardest kids and parents.[/quote]

I'm so sick of seeing this tired old line about charters crapping on DCPS. I've worked at a charter - at the school level we partnered with the nearby DCPS school for volunteers, parking, PD and events. We didn't think about DCPS too much day to day frankly and I don't think they thought much about us. People in schools are busy running schools. It's people outside of schools who want to make the comparisons. Something happens at one DCPS school and all of DCPS is bad. Something happens at one charter school and all charters are bad. This makes no sense.[/quote]

Well after seeing that video I think we can at least agree that Stokes is bad. [/quote]

NOT At All. It sounds to me that this kid was a problem from Day 1. The apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree!  Some people say “an involved parent” , I say an “opportunist” for sure!

Signed,

From the Waitlist[/quote]

“opportunist” for what? for a better education? is not like they are suing for money! I hope you stay on the waitlist forever!
[/quote]

+1 in hopes you never get called off any of your waitlists [/quote]
