[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the two alternatives presented by the OP present a fair picture of what's going on. I think it's more accurate to say (for our family) that charters are keeping us in DC AND they are holding back our DCPS. The charters are also (1) adding to the variety of academic programs that are available to us; (2) creating an incentive for DCPS to do better; and (3) illustrating for DCPS what parents want. Considering all of the above, I think they are good for the system as a whole, even though they are holding back our in boundary DCPS elementary school. [/quote] on 2) -- the overall results are largely comparable between DCPS and charters. if charters are pushing DCPS to improve academically one would assume a larger differential on outcomes[/quote]
