[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very sad, I'm glad she has professional legal representation.

This is the dark under-belly of charter schools: they try to act like private schools and abdicate their responsibility to educate children with disabilities. I doubt Stokes is the first or the last.[/quote]

And glad that WLC is taking a more aggressive approach.  Five year ban, come on!  I could understand even the remainder of the school year as a cooling-off period.  But this is a naked attempt to get rid of people.  Yes, at-risk families can be challenging.  But charters need to do their share of the work.  Not just send them back to their IB and carry on talking about how much DCPS sucks.[/quote]

Dcps DOES IN FACT suck so there is that. [/quote]

Sure it does, but it's galling how the charter sector loves to crap on DCPS while also [b]sticking them[/b] with the hardest kids and parents.[/quote]

You raise an excellent point.

And I also regret saying the word “sucks”. Dcps has let down my kids many times, but they’re trying. I guess. [/quote]

No offense, but wouldn't dcps be 'stuck with' ALL the hard kids without charters? And then go back to what, paying privates like we used to? Maybe the answer is schools that focus on these issues- unfortunately some of the charters that try that get shut down for not meeting unrealistic progress expectations.[/quote]
