[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2 things actually matter in schools

Competent teachers (Which are a mixed bag across any school)

And SES status

Western MoCo and WOTP DCPS schools are both high income so the only variable is whether teachers are competent which is a wash in any school

Bottom line there is no difference between Western MoCo and WOTP DCPS

I think that is only true for elementary school but by middle school and high school the suburbs and privates have DCPS and charters beat. DC’s problem is that it doesn’t have continuity and it’s always scandal ridden. There’s a DCPS scandal at least twice a year. The school based staff in DCPS work incredibly hard, it’s the bloated central office and Mayor’s office that ignores the parent community. The other struggle in DC is that much of the population is transient and/wealthy enough to not have to deal with the public schools. Therefore, the city collects tax revenue but aren’t held accountable enough by the populace.  No, I don’t mean those of us who were able to cobble money to live in Ward 3. There is plenty of wealthy people in Ward 3 who wouldn’t send their children to a DCPS/charter school even if a President’s child were to attend. [/quote]
