[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fenty kids were OB at Lafayette.  It is one of the reasons i voted for Gray.[/quote]

Aaaaand look how well that has gone for all of us.[/quote]

Aaaand Gray continued the education policies of Fenty. Do you really think Rhee would have conducted things differently?[/quote]

It's the other way around, actually. Gray pushed mayoral control of schools when Fenty was a ward 4 council member, with kids in really expensive private school, and against it and against supporting charter options.

Despite Adrian's cluelessness and Rhee's scorched earth management approach, we have some improvement pretty much across the city and increased enrollment in charters and DCPS.

Say what you want about Gray, but Bowser is definitely Fenty-lite and will rely even more than he did on the private money powers that be. Who, incidentally, supported Gray over Fenty. Oh wait, you thought poor black folk put Gray in the mayor's office? Of course all that Uncle Earl stuff spooked a lot of DC Dems. A lot of people held back on the primary to see who would float with the least baggage and lowest on Machen's radar. Aaaannnd that was....  Surprise. Most, but clearly not all, DC Dems rallied behind the last Dem standing. (Note to Muriel. Obama and Barry will not be around next time to bail you out. Tony & Co. will be keeping an eye on Kenyan.)

For people who thought a vote for Bowser meant keeping Henderson, pay close attention. When PARCC scores plummet and the battles over boundary grandfathering kick in, don't hold your breath that Henderson, Smith, or anyone who's worked on recent improvement will stick around. Hope I'm wrong.[/quote]
