[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC decided it was better to offer an alternative to failing schools in the form of charter schools rather than fix and integrate public schools. I'm not saying this was a bad decision, just that now that they have gone all in on charters, its going to be hard to unring that bell and make public schools attractive to families. My wish would be for more integrated neighborhoods, but until that happens, for an excellent, walkable public school in every neighborhood.[/quote] DC didn't choose charters. They were imposed by a Republican congress. Thanks, Newt Gingrich. [/quote] Giving families options for a better academic experience. Those hateful bigots! Instead, we should, well, umm, it’s the Republicans fault that all of these cities’ school systems, police, etc are run terribly!, right? It is NOT the fault of the Party that has run those cities for 60 yrs, right? Let’s keep electing the same folks, and keep blaming the Republicans, hurray! 1/3 of DCPS employees couldn’t tell Michelle Rhee what their job was! How dare she ask such a question. Not to worry, the teachers union, made sure she was run out of town. Too funny that all of you DC libs talk diversity, but were ok with DCPS firing a Wilson Principal for being gay, and they tried to fire a lesbian elementary school teacher, for being a lesbian, till some Parents/lawyers threatened a lawsuit. The latter was the best teacher any of my kids have ever had. [/quote] Huh? Charters don't outperform DCPS - the data doesn't show that. Your even farther from reality with the rest of your rant. Serious credibility problem.[/quote]
