[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has the highest taxes in the country and we spend more on schools per capita than anywhere else. If some schools aren't getting their share, it's the politicians' fault. [/quote]

We don't have the highest taxes but close.

What we probably have is one of the most inefficient and corrupt local governments, and a massive waste of taxpayer $$$.[/quote]

+1000.  More money is not the main issue. Local govt. including most of its agencies are incredibly inefficient and corrupt. There have been a few posts on this thread even giving examples of how DCPS wastes money but no one seems to care about that. Just a strange fixation on how more money would fix the schools[/quote]

This.  Corruption, inefficiencies, waste, etc.....  DC per pupil capita is very high.  Nothing is going to change by throwing more money at it.

Also money won’t cure the ills outside the school that is the biggest predictor of poor student performance - instability at home, single family homes, incarcerated fathers, emotional and physical abuse, neglect, trauma, etc....[/quote]
