“Having our schools meet the needs of all of our kids and reflect our values is very important,” Jennifer Comey, the director of planning and analysis in the deputy mayor’s office, said in a virtual meeting with parents. “I know, as you all live in Capitol Hill, that this is also very important to you.”

So the mayor is admitting here they failed to meet the needs of Miner and the only way to solve that failure is to add more white kids? They have no other way to meet the needs of black kids? [/quote]

Ever since the election of Gray, the only strategy for closing the achievement gap has been to drag the top down. [/quote]

It’s totally wild. As is Kihn’s basic admission that he thought nothing through. The implication really is that Kihn et al just wanted a feather in their caps and thought it would be easy peasy.  Meanwhile DCPS elementary schools continue the abysmal downward slide in math and writing instruction. If anyone thinks that adding more lower income kids to Maury (which like all other schools has ditched textbooks, relies on computers, and fails to teach spelling and grammar) is some kind of educational solution, they are either lying or stupid.

They really believe that successful social practices rub off on kids with an acceptably low level of transfer the other way. I really don’t believe there’s an evidence of this, most diligent, successful kids are that way because their parents are that way. [/quote]
