[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "magic" is that it is a lot easier and more frequently expel students for various undesirable attributes at a rate of 71:1 as compared to public schools.[/quote]

[quote]D.C. charter schools expelled 676 students in the past three years, while the city’s traditional public schools expelled 24, according to a Washington Post review of school data. During the 2011-12 school year, when charters enrolled 41 percent of the city’s students, they removed 227 children for discipline violations and had an expulsion rate of 72 per 10,000 students; the District school system removed three and had an expulsion rate of less than 1 per 10,000 students.[/quote][/quote]

They were expelling three year olds. I guess it was so bad that DC council member has proposed a bill prohibiting the expulsion of PS-K. DCPCB is opposing the legislation and is arguing that charters are not subject to DC laws. [/quote]
