[quote=Anonymous]I am not chicken shit either.  I am an upper SES white woman who has participated in dozens if not hundreds of meetings about education in the city, including many supporting neighborhood school efforts after my children got into a good charter that we never intend to leave.  I am extraoridinarily vocal about my desire for children in this neighborhood to have opportunities withib the neighborhood.  But I have seen enough to understand what can and can not be done.

Changing DCPS would require support citywide and throughout the administration for the change.  That won't happen anytime soon, and all promises to the contrary - of which there have been and will be many - will be broken.  On the other hand, the determination of what charter school goes into a building, once it is decided that the building will go to a charter as required by law when it is unused, does not need DCPS buy-in and is very heavily influenced by the opinions of the councilmembera for the affected wards, who are swayed almost completely by the desires of the vocal residents of those wards.[/quote]
