[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charter "diversity" is not the natural mix that would come with an integrated city. It would be much much blacker, browner, poorer, more difficult students, more remediation, more special needs. Charters talking about diversity are communicating "we have a cohort of white students! We have involved parents! We aren't dominated by the needs of the poor!" Charters need a way to describe their demographics that is not a nasty set of code phrases for "come here if the demographics of DCPS are too much for you." It makes me very unhappy to see a dynamic like that just barely disguised in DC "school choice."[/quote] Charters would also need to stop being able to push out students they perceive as difficult with almost zero accountability. That would also go a ways to evening this up. And don't tell me it doesn't happen, it does, ask the Principals of DCPS schools about how many charter students they get enrolling mid-year. [/quote]
