[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charter schools bleed money from the public schools. And, charter schools don't have the same requirements as public schools or any oversite.  It's a crap shoot, could be amazing or a total disaster!  More often than not, a disaster [/quote]

New poster. Charters don’t actually take any money from public schools directly. All schools are funded per pupil. If a public school’s enrollment is suffering, I think they should do a better job of figuring out why people don’t want to send their kid there versus blaming the school they opted to send their kids to. I do agree that charters need more oversight and that many of them are absolutely terrible and not actually a better option than the public alternative. That being said, I think[b] it’s clear that parents want something that isn’t necessarily offered in the traditional public school setting[/b]. It would be better for districts to offer those options rather than fighting against them.[/quote]

For the parents that want something different, they should pay to send their children to private school, not use my tax dollars to support charters[/quote]

Disgusting. You do understand that means damning people with the least financial or social capital to just put u and shut up with often abusive levels of school dysfunction, don’t you?  Have you actually stepped foot in a non-ward 3 DCPS school?[/quote]

DP but I do, every day. I'll be sure to show my kids families what you think of them[/quote]

No one with options who cared about education would even consider sending their kids to Ballou, but you think options should be removed? [/quote]

TIL Ballou is the example people go to as the broad brush for every non W3 school. I'm gonna enjoy my night while you wet your dog whistle.[/quote]

Does you kid go there?  What’s it like?[/quote]
