[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] DCPS leadership believes that type of thinking is just an excuse and they accept no excuses. Their position is that all children can learn at high levels if they have effective teachers. As long as that attitude prevails, there is little hope for educating poor children in DC. [/quote][/quote] Too true. Too true. We should write poor kids off as unteachable, and just shovel money at teachers, regardless of their skills or effectiveness. After all, it's worked so well for the last 4 or 5 decades.[/quote] There's that attitude again - make extreme statements; blame teachers; don't very look at poverty - too scary and beyond the scope of DCPS. DCPS administrators have pinned their paychecks and their puffed up self-perception on teachers being the whole answer to improving achievement -- and if they're wrong -- too bad for the kids.[/quote]
