[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is small but has a regionalized school system, so dollar for dollar comparisons only go so far.

WOTP there are zero charters.
EOTP charters are often a refuge for the white and try to avoid catering to the majority. And a good number are also 'inculcation/achievement' oriented charters that white parents never send their kids to, like a KIPP or Friendship.
EOTR charters are growing and [b]DCPS are shriveling away[/b].

Now if you average all these things out you just smooth over differences.

But on the major point this thread got started - WTU raises shouldn't just go to charters. if history is any guide they wouldn't even necessarily be given as staff pay - they would just be 'block-granted' to the myriad charter management organizations. (You know, the ones where the Executive Directors pay themselves $300,000 a year.)[/quote]

Brent, Maury, Ludlow Taylor and Stuart Hobson would like a word. You know many words. Not so much about schools. But still many words.[/quote]
