[quote=Anonymous]It is only about accommodating low-SES---that has always been the stated motivation of DC government politicians---but the reality has been that government money doesn't make it to the low-SES schools and children---instead it has been funneled to the pockets of the DC political establishment (see., e.g., former councilmember Harry Thomas---serving time for siphoning money intended for DC low income children's causes into "non-profits" owned and controlled by his family and associates). So that's why there is not (nor will there ever be) an emphasis by the current DC political establishment on accommodating the needs of high SES learners. The bleeding heart white liberals like Graham, Mendelsohn and Wells buy into all the BS and are deathly afraid of being labelled as "racist" if they advocate for more programs for more advanced prepared learners, while the Marion Barry/Harry Thomas old guard wants to protect the money train for the DC bureaucratic political elite.
