[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You call them "less desireable".  You do. I call them needing a specific, high quality educational model that perhaps differs from that of other students.  [/quote]
No lectures here. I teach many kids who have been kicked out of charters, for being deemed 'less desireable'. I am speaking from experience. Charters run kids out that they do not want to or cannot deal with, and the heavy lifting is done by the public schools, who get dumped on. [/quote]

I can't speak for other charters but the instances I'm familiar with only "kick" kids out when they are expelled for being repeatedly violent and abusive to a criminal level to other students, to faculty and staff.  Otherwise, they typically self-select out, after repeated failure after failure, being several grade levels behind and unable/unwilling to put in the extra work needed to come up to where they are supposed to be.

So...  What is your magical cure for dealing with hard violence, or for miraculously bringing them up several grades?  Or do you just sweep it all under the carpet like the rest of the DCPS system does?  Care to share some HONEST reality about it?[/quote]
