[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From all the name calling and the personal hatred expressed by a handful of families, I’m concluding that all the hatred directed toward Dr. B is really anger at DCPS policies. I get it, people get their backs up when they feel their children’s needs are not being fully met, but welcome to DCPS. Science education is weak and for some kids that is a real hole in their day because that is what most interested them. Many kids can’t write well, but spend hours each week on social-emotional education - yet for other kids that social emotional education is their greatest need. Most students needs are not fully met by the system. The system is underfunded and across the district the needs are grea and there are lots of policies in place that I disagree with and I don’t think serve my kids greatest interests and needs (really - a varsity athlete needs to take 2 semesters of PE in High school - its a stupid waste of time). I do take issue with parents trying to take down a principal who is doing her best to meet the needs of the greatest number of students in her school within the structures and resources of DCPS. (I don’t plan the JR principle for making my kid take PE) And, yes, you are welcome to seek out a charter school, parochial school or private school if you don’t like what the system is providing you. [/quote] DCPS schools are NOT underfunded. There is SO much funding…….just not in Ward 3. But somehow people argue there is still not “equity”. The problem is the gross waste and mismanagement of funds. And clearly the use of the funds is not working. So, who is being held accountable? No one.[/quote] Uhh. schools get the same per pupil funding. Or are you trying to argue that Lafayette deserves the bump that a title 1 school gets? (which is federal, and has nothing to do with DCPS or Dr B???)[/quote]
