[quote=Anonymous]That blog post was really light on specifics, other than the vague sense that McDuffie will continue the current policies but JLG will bring "change." What if her "changes" are awful? I would like to hear her speak in specifics about how she is going to raise academic standards for everyone, meet the needs to advanced students, honor the 50% of families who choose charter schools at some point during their kids educational path (though most charter families experience both DCPS and charters at some point) and ensure that she won't punish charters, and "close the achievement gap" not by bringing down the top, but by bringing up the bottom. I have no faith that JLG cares about regular people. She speaks openly about how she cares the most for those who have the least -- in her case, she means people who commit crimes, who don't pay rent, who use drugs. That's fine, but she has some fundamental inability to see how their actions hurt regular people. [/quote]
