[quote=Anonymous]Some good points 22:41, but the budget part doesn't tell the whole picture. Rhee made sure Brent got more than it's fair share. While that was nice for Brent, other students got shorted. Budgets are more equalized under Kaya, but saying Brent gets lower than average spending per pupil is deceptive. Brent doesn't get a large premium for low income and ESL students, because it has a highly affluent student body. When you add the money the parents raise, Brent is doing just fine and students at Brent get much, much more than their counterparts at, say, Stanton Elementary.

I do find your blind support of the previous and present Chancellor puzzling. Rhee, while making sure Brent got a fatter budget, ultimately didn't do Brent much good.

The Rhee promises on Jefferson never materialized and Kaya doesn't have the depth of experience in terms of curriculum, implementation and teacher retention.

Finally, as long as Kaya sticks around, there will be no GT and no magnet middle schools. I would argue that our unqualified Chancellor and the one preceding her will continue to hamper positive growth in public education in DC. Oh, and the poverty. But nobody wants to fix that.[/quote]
