[quote=Anonymous]If you take out WOTP schools, which are mostly unavailable to EOTP, then DCPS is about a third or a quarter proficient (per DC CAS).  In what world is that not nightmarish?[/quote]
My EOTP school is a few points shy of 70% in math and in the 50%s in reading.  The numbers are particularly good for students who start and finish there.  That's certainly not [i]good[/i]in my book, but it is a challenge to address rather than a nightmare to run away from.
Schools with 10% profiency are more nightmarish, but not the whole system.[/quote]

The SYSTEM is more than test scores at individual schools.  It's the lottery process, the city politics, the testing/NCLB nonsense, the lack of accountability/oversight, the huge amounts of money spent with no demonstrable results, etc etc.  I understand why some people are committed to staying, and if it works for you and your child, that's great.  [b]But for those of us who don't have the time to volunteer on a regular basis or lobby the city/state/federal governments on these issues, we just need a school and a system that is responsible to parents and to the needs of our children.  I already have a job - I can't make it my job to fix my child's school/system on top of that.[/quote][/b]
