1. Lowering the standards at Walls, Banneker, etc.
2. Revising the social studies curriculum. 3. Mandating PTA spending. |

| DC PTA spending is insane. It needs to be fixed. |

As far as I can tell as a ES parent, there is practically no social studies. |

But don’t worry....the lowered standards now exclude attendance. That’s right you can attend a selective school even if you don’t attend school!

| Going to be interesting to see how basically banning school suspensions for unruly kids is going to work out. |

| Perfectly fine to tax our over funded PTA at 10% in favor of less well off schools. Also stop them from hiring staff. |

| I feel like a fool thinking DCPS would improve in a few years. The worst part is that I don’t any of this will help underprivileged kids. You need structure and high standards coupled with lots of support such as small classes and after-school tutoring. How will these kids survive in college and in the workforce when there are no consequences for discipline infractions or truancy |

She'll be learning about this in 3rd grade too but at a deeper level. I think it is a spiral down approach, but it means that in the end not much is covered. I'm all for something new. |
