[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was against charter schools.  Then, I moved from FCPS to a state with public charter schools, and the charters have been fantastic.  The education has been incredibly strong, and finally my kids have a school that actually challenges high achievers.

I don't see how public charter schools could be sucking the system dry.  They generally receive quite a bit less money per student than the public schools, and they're still required to meet all of the public school standards.

The net result of public charters isn't significantly different from the immersion or magnet programs in FCPS.  In both cases, kids are picked via a lottery, busing may not be provided, the kids are generally at or above average, and the families are involved in their kids' educations.  The main difference is that the charter is getting less money per student from the state.  [/quote]

You sound like a hired shill.  Why are you on the FCPS forums if you are in a different state and loving your charter schools?[/quote]

These types of mean responses from the self-appointed DCUM schools forum hall monitors give me hope, if only because it enables others to see how shrill the defenders of the status quo in FCPS can be, and that might ever so slightly help get their patron saints on the current School Board removed from office in 2023.

Please keep this up.  You are doing important work. [/quote]

Preach.  With every nutty post they simply solidify the case against them.[/quote]
