[quote=Anonymous]Would people here consider writing up a decent FAQ on the frequently covered subjects on this DCPS/PCS Board? I have seen a similar FAQ on the private schools board and believe a summary of frequently expressed wisdom or opinions would make this board more useful for all. I don't think anyone has to agree to any of this, but it could drive a higher level of discussion. It could also help ease transition into a school system we want to encourage DC parents and residents to get involved in. Possible topics: 1. insider terms/slang used in discussing DCPS/PCS schools here; 2. highly-rated DCPS elementary schools frequently discussed here; 3. highly-rated DC PCS elementary schools frequently discussed here; 4. middle schools' reputations; 5. middle school feeder system; 6. middle school headaches; 7. high school considerations; 8. new PCS options coming down the pipeline; 9. school location information; 10. How the lotteries work, 11. Good lottery decisionmaking; 12. Deadlines; 13. PTAs and parental involvement; 14. Testing and test results; 14. sources of school data; 15. summaries of OSSE and other test result data for popular schools; 16. DCPS and PCS administration issues, such as central office, testing changes or teacher evaluation issues; How could this be drafted up collaboratively so that it actually contains generally received wisdom? is there any way to put together graphics or tables for some of this stuff? Some of the best things to help people decide on schools come from comparison charts. Does anyone know how the FAQ could be automatically at the top once completed? Administrative intervention of some kind?[/quote]
