[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...so no one wants to engage (besides Mr. Steele) on the obvious subject of wrap-around-services in wards outside of 2 and 3.  No wonder the DCPS is still in shambles, the outspoken middle class around here mostly only cares about their own.[/quote]

Sure, I already addressed that. DCPS should be funded to provide education services. That's because it's they public school system. It can barely provide breakfast/lunch competently. Now we want it to provide a cocoon of sophisticated wrap-around services. I have zero confidence that those services will be delivered competently. If we want to implement something like that we should have a completely separate agency that loosely integrates with the schools (both public and PCS).

Instead what we've got is a growing situation where we commingle funds meant for education with social services, and schools with middle-class kids are being cannibalized so that we can throw money at DC's historic social dysfunction.

Now we have a situation where Henderson's claiming literacy resources are being placed in every school... when in fact, she's cut many schools to put literacy resources in the worst 40% of schools. And that's just librarians.
