[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a great teacher at an at risk school.  The policy change goes through and all of the sudden I am desperate to give up my good benefits and better salary and bonuses to teach at a HRCS. I quickly quickly run out and put my application in at all of them.  And what happens, NOTHING.  There are 300 other teacher applicantions.  I stay at my at risk school and continue making a fairly decent living.  Meanwhile, the HRCS retains some of the teachers they would have lost to DCPS's higher pay and better job security, and potential parents loose a few spots (NOTHING like what they lose to sibling preference).  We are not talking many spots, folks. What is gained - a more stable and committed workforce in all charters.  I wish dscp would do this as well.[/quote]

Again, it can't be both ways.  HRCS's can't have tremendous teacher turnover, which this would address, AND not have openings for new teachers.  No one school will have enough for all 300 people looking for jobs at any given time, of course not.  But apparently by your own example this would make a good teacher at an at risk school jump to leave for a HRCS if they got in.  Hell, now that we know janitors or front desk people would get preference too, I wouldn't be surprised if some teachers jumped ship at their current schools to work front desks if it means getting a spot at a HRCS, especially one with a good feeder pattern i.e. DCI today, but who knows what will exist tomorrow.
