[quote=Anonymous]I disagree with the applicability of this to DCPS and DC charters. Our tours of several DCPSs mostly in NE including several with low test scores and high poverty (i.e., community eligibility for free meals) showed they have "specials" like music, art, PE, and a foreign language. Libraries and recess time could use improvement. The schools were clean and had few readily apparent maintenance issues (i.e., broken windows, evidence of water damage), although some needed renovations. Early ed class sizes were quite small with good student/teacher ratios. Raymond, but not the other DCPSs, had what I considered an inappropriate emphasis on technology to learn. Say what you will about charters, but they're not imposed on anyone--if no one wants to go to a charter, it will close.[/quote]
