[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely this is a concern for me. High teacher and administrator turnover is inherent to the "free market" model of charter schools, which is based in large part on breaking teacher's union and ending tenure. If I had to chose between a crappy inbounds and charter I would go charter. But if there is a decent DCPS option, I will go for that any time, specifically for reasons of stability and connection to the neighborhood. [/quote]

Why are you lumping all charters into your assessment?[/quote]

Name me a charter that provides teacher tenure, plus at or above-market pay and benefits, and then I won't lump them together. [/quote]

Name me a job in the private sector that provides tenure, and then I won't lump teacher tenure in the pile of "I am union, hear me roar!  Who cares if we're higher cost/lower performance?  We donate heavily, so you need to discount the students and the educational outcomes.  Teaching is all about...  TEACHERS."

Or didn't the legendary Teacher's Union Boss Al Shanker say it best?  [b][i]"I'll care about students when they pay union dues.  They're just grist for the mill."[/i][/b]
