[quote=Anonymous]According to the guy featured in this article, the answer to OP's question currently is "no": http://greatergreatereducation.org/post/22755/should-we-give-up-on-urban-public-school-districts-and-replace-them-with-something-completely-/ "In The Urban School System of the Future, Smarick says that despite decades of effort, urban public school districts like DCPS continue to serve the vast majority of their students inadequately. In his view, they will never generate the results disadvantaged kids deserve. "What's needed, he says, is a "portfolio" approach. Instead of having the school district serve as the sole or even dominant operator of schools on a permanent basis, a city would manage a portfolio of its K-12 schools." [/quote]
