[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think DCPS is doing a great job making progress considering that, unlike charters, they can't IN ANY way "cherry pick" students. Or "counsel them out". [/quote]

Um, they do in fact "counsel kids out" of DCPS schools - and frankly that's part of the reason so many kids are in charters now - because DCPS could not meet their needs, made them miserable, made them feel unwelcome, or "counseled them out" - nobody likes to admit or acknowledge that but it does happen quite a bit.[/quote]

I'd like to be counseled out of DCPS and be put into Yu Ying (or any other HRCS).  How do I make that happen?  I get how it works the other way -- I get counseled out and my IB has to accept me, but would love to have a charter forced to accept me over my IB school.[/quote]

The majority of charters aren't hard to get into.  They're similar to the majority of DCPS in that regard, they just have better performance metrics and safer environments.

Getting counseled out of your IB into YY will happen when you get counseled out of your IB into Lafayette or Janney.[/quote]
