I think he was making a different point–that charters have every right to exclude disruptors…Petrilli is far more worried about the white upper middle class kids of Montgomery Co being “slowed down” by the presence of students of poverty and color than he is about disruptors in DC schools. He is willing to “share” a school but not a classroom. Listen to his interview with Josh Starr. This exclude “those kids” so the “good kids” can thrive is a dangerous new argument. We have an obligation to teach all of our children well. The exclude “those kids and group them together” will create an underclass of disenfranchised, uneducated adults.
