Charter schools. Yeah, they work so well.

So explain why in DC 1/2 of the charter schools perform BELOW DC public schools--that's a really low bar to reach there and they aren't even making it. All those tax dollars pumped down a rat hole.

So, let's take thousands of MORE dollars and give them directly to parents and let's see how fast they spend them on "school supplies." And let's give these charter schools more money so that they can spend them on ridiculous salaries and equipment no one wants or needs while the students fall behind the DC public school kids.

I thought some of that stuff was just part of raising kids. I wonder if I could get paid more for some of the supplies that I buy--I spend at least a month's worth of my salary each year. It's just part of teaching to me.

The charter schools here get more than the regular schools get. We've wanted lower class sizes here for a long time. It's used against us here. Though, personally, I just take whom I get and do the best I can.
