[quote=Anonymous][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]

I don't think the expulsions are from the HRCS that people in this forum are aiming for. KIPP is mentioned in the article. Also from it:
"YouthBuild, a school that targets high school dropouts and students older than 16, expelled 30 that year, nearly one-third of its enrollment. Friendship’s Collegiate Academy expelled 56 students, or 5 percent of its student body."

So it's not really a reason to rail on LAMB or whatever.[/quote]

+100 The overwhelming majority of charter expulsions come from just a handful of charters, what is cited is not applicable to the majority of other DC charters - in fact most of the HRCs had very few, if any at all.[/quote]
