[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tea, lounge, chromebooks? And the DCPS schools don't even have A/C. This is public funding, how do they make this work? Do they pay their teacher's significantly less than DCPS (which may be possible b/c of the unions?). It's a little frustrating that in order to attend DCI you must already win the charter lotteries for the feeder schools; it basically locks students out if they don't win early on. Talk about the cycle of poverty....[/quote] If there are DCPS schools without air conditioning, you should really be putting your energy into fighting that battle. Shame on DCPS, which is awash with cash! (Oh, you have no idea what you are talking about? Never mind)[/quote] I volunteered at Amidon, but this was a couple years ago. But you can't deny that non-academic expenditures at charters seem a bit out of whack with the general lack of resource in DCPS when both are publicly funded. Charters really feel like parent run private schools on the tax payers dime. And the kids left out never get a change to transfer in. [/quote]
