The pandemic has really illustrated how bad the people in the DC government are at their jobs.

He shouldn't have run for this office if he had already personally opted out of the system he was supposed to lead.

It's interesting that a government bureaucrat can afford to spend $41,000 per child per year sending his kids to private school.

And why can’t he send his kid to a private school if that’s what works best for their kids/family?

Perhaps he recognizes that private schools are doing a better job educating kids and wants to help bridge the gap by helping DCPS catch up. Nothing wrong with this.

It is $46k/kid. He's paying $92K.

He can. But he should also take the heat when most of us reveal it as the ultimate in hypocrisy on his part

He moved to DC for the job, so his kids enrolled in private at the same time as he started as DME.

He certainly isn't doing that with his performance on the matter of school opening during the pandemic.

I think the issue is that he is preventing tens of thousands of children from getting an education, because it is supposedly not safe for kids to be in school, and yet his own children have been in school every day this entire time.

Of course he has his kids in private. This is a surprise how?

This is not accurate.

OK, so the guy elects to send his kids to private school. Bowser supports him. She's won the last two elections. What can we do about it, other than try to prevent her from winning again? Nothing. Wealthy people in this city, the types who earn 200K plus, almost always send their kids to private schools. That's the way it's always been, and, presumably, always will be. Move on.

This is not accurate.

Then please explain. His bio says he worked in the Philadelphia school system before taking the DME job.
