I saw this today and it made me think.

We know that Bowser and politicians in general get a lot of money from school privatizers – from the Walton and DeVos crew, and from the big charter school corporations.
(This is one of the biggest problems with charters. They distort our political process by injecting huge amounts of money into it.  In contrast, public school parents don't have big PACs that are donating to politicians that defend them – donating to pro-public-school and pro-democracy politicians.)

If Bowser really wanted to harm public schools, what would she being doing differently?
- She appointed Ferebee, a Chancellor trained by pro-charter Broad, who works hard to deceive parents and keep them in the dark.
- Bowser's team seems not to care about students who are above the median. Once a kid gets a 5 on PARCC they're not Bowser's problem anymore.
- Bowser's school opening plan was the right idea but the implementation was a chaotic farce and its making parents dislike DCPS.
- Now Bowser is appointing another school privatizer to run OSSE.
- DCPS Central Office is a total mess, and not getting better.  No vision, no improvement.
- OSSE is a total mess.
- Instead of building two schools in Shaw, a middle school and New Banneker, Bowser chose to divide those communities against each other, trying to get the Banneker people to hate the Shaw middle people and vice versa.

Seriously, if Bowser wanted to hurt DCPS, what could she be doing differently?

Can we get a next mayor who cares about DCPS, please?!
