[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A moratorium would reveal that the emperor has no clothes - city leaders need to keep up the bait and switch and ambiguity of churn to disguise the fact that ed reform is a failure. [/quote]

Every time I hear someone criticize Education Reform, I know I must be listening to a Union Troll.

The rest of the world has come to accept being graded on their performance.  For some reason the teacher's unions think they should be exempt.[/quote]

I'm PP and a parent, not a troll. I remain convinced, however, that very little improvement has been made in public education (based on, of all things TEST SCORES) in DC that cannot be attributed to gentrification/the entry of children from college-educated households. DCPS, charter leaders and city leaders all benefit from the changing testing standards, student churn and all sorts of dodges to explain why improvement is just around the corner. The reality is they're all just trying to put lipstick on a pig.

Let's hold change static for 3-4 years of real study so that we can see if there are any parts of the system that are leading to better outcomes.[/quote]
