No one in DCPS Central believes that for their own kids. But yes, they'll preach it to you. Also, most of them live in the 'burbs coz they're not stupid.

Silver lining in this issue with chancellor. While the school lottery may make the school lottery fairer, it does have its flaws, limitations, and concerns. A child should be able to transfer schools if needed without a lot of controversy. Chancellor is new to D.C. and is learning about the city and culture. As a result he can bring a fresh perspective and be open to new ideas but will run into pitfalls that might be avoided with greater insight into D.C.

Can’t believe there aren’t some perks of office. Lots of political folks or their kids have gone to Wilson as if it is a rite of passage. Give the man another chance.

Instead of beating up the chancellor, focus on making all D.C. schools great giving all families more options. Let’s see how the chancellor does near the end of his contract. This is an election year so expect calls for the chancellor’s resignation. Getting rid of the chancellor is an unwise move at this time. Calling for resignation is a political sport in D.C. Let’s see if he puts the city in the right direction towards ending achievement gaps in education and treating all children and their families with respect and as equals. The chancellor is just getting started trying to take DCPS to another level.

By the way, let’s move in another direction with the next deputy mayor education. Try someone that is not so tied to charter schools. Also, she should not have had to resign either, however, after taking the weight, let D.C. move on and solve some other problems critical to the success of families and the city.

So true, I used to work in DCPS central office most people live in VA or MD burbs. They see and know first hand of DCPS's foolery. For those that don't live in the burbs they go to private school.

I guess the executive office of the mayor reads DCUM too.

You must be affiliated with why current administration. And if this the way the current administration thinks I will not be voting for it. In fact I felt good about Bowser until she did not call for the chancellor’s immediate resignation.

>>>> A child should be able to transfer schools if needed without a lot of controversy.

Not only would there not have been a whole lot of controversy, there would have been zero controversy had she transferred to her inbounds school. That's the whole point, dumbass.

I'm hoping this is the first salvo in his campaign for mayor.

If you think this is his *first* salvo, you haven't been paying attention.

Perfect timing for him in so many ways. Now he can just lie low for a few days and hope that it will all blow over in a few days.

I have no sympathy for Jenny Niles. Such a dumb and corrupt move. What was she thinking?

Please explain how this was a "such a dumb and corrupt move" for Niles, but not for Wilson.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Niles was pressured/expected to facilitate such a move by the higher ups.

This is the most clueless post I’ve ready on here in a while, which is an accomplishment for DCUM. For your own sake PP, you might want to consider what influences you have that make you feel so differently about the chancellor cheating in the lottery than almost anyone else.

LOL.

Everyone in this entire city is so insane about Wilson High School that if they just tore the place down and randomly assigned all of its students to the rest of the schools around the city it would probably improve civic life immeasurably.

That makes no sense even as an attempt at wit.

Hi Antwan! Nice try, but you’re definitely getting canned.
