[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"The DC reformers absolutely thought that schools alone could and should make all the difference."

"the focus on teachers as the only important factor in kids' education"

Citations, please.

I don't recall anyone ever saying that the schools were the ONLY change needed.  I call BS on that.[/quote]

TFA and Rhee, bullshit indeed but that's what they said and continue to say if you go to "Institute"!!![/quote]

It looks like PP has backed off since  the requested citations were posted, which is a good sign indicating that some reform enthusiasts will react to evidence.

As for TFA --it's had  20 years to show that it doesn't work, yet it continues, drawing in inexperienced, idealistic young people who think they can undo all the damage done by the education system so far.  They also like the tuition program, the elite nature of the selection process and the resume-building power of two years of TFA before entering another more lucrative, prestigious field.  None of that has anything to do with educating kids.[/quote]

At least you are finally admitting that the DCPS school system has done damage to children for over 20 years.[/quote]
