[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quick question. Why aren't parents working to develop their own schools? Why do they insist on the OOB system? This defeats the purpose and will always make for terrible schools in Wards 4, 5, 6 etc. [/quote]

That's a stunningly naive question. The time for "parents" to work to improve their own schools is BEFORE THEY HAVE CHILDREN and most of us weren't thinking and advocating passionately about school improvement before having kids. It takes time for a school to get better, for the dysfunction to dissipate. You're question is sort of like, "Why aren't the family members of a murder victim allowed on the jury?" Answer: because you can't expect them to make objective decisions. Making schools better has to be a priority of DCPS and the community at large, not the parents who have a directly vested interest by having school age children. My child's education will NEVER be a social experiment. My child will go to a school where her ONE chance at elementary (and then middle and then high) school will not be a crap shoot. [/quote]
