[quote=Anonymous]Put things in perspective. Fillmore has

Fillmore has a lovely community. Our kids have taken classes there. It's time for it just run itself as a standalone, sustainable nonprofit like Sitar Center in Adams Morgan and not a DCPS add-on service. It's been on the block for years. Nobody at DCPS wants it, so you're fighting a losing battle. It's a leftover from the era of when DCPS couldn't even get books from the warehouses by opening day.

As to Cuba, yet another example of why Bowser is CLUELESS on education. Henderson supposedly went as her "friend". It's no secret that they are not BFFs. Bowser is now Henderson's boss' boss. You really think Kaya really had a choice? I was surprised DME didn't go, but I guess Henderson has a higher media profile.

The Post article also pointed out that Kaya was none too impressed and her team saw first hand what communist indoctrination gets you; well-educated tour guides.

I'm outraged at Bowser's "more bang for the buck" comment regarding paying teachers poverty wages there. Seriously?!?! Henderson et al have been pushing for some of the highest compensation packages for teachers in DCPS. Ask anyone who is from Cuba and they'll confirm that kids are brainwashed and parents are kept out of education. Meanwhile, DCPS has a director of family engagement and does home visits, etc.

Seriously, Muriel?!?[/quote]
