[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS is desperate. They are trying anything and everything except the obvious...the inclusion classrooms DON'T WORK! It's a stupid idea. Take the really at risk kids and give them the services they need so that everyone, including at risk kids can get the damned education that they deserve!

We don't need an extended school year. We need a system that works instead of this sad veneer of success over a rotten infrastructure. [/quote]

Agreed 100%!

An extended year just gives the kids a longer time to muck around and fail.

Extended time in a failing school makes no sense. Especially when there are very very successful schools that are not extended. How are they successful? It's exactly what you've said. They don't try to pretend and play games. They get right to the heart of the issues and actually serve the CHILDREN. DCPS spends too much time serving leaders by manipulating numbers and passing kids along so they can boast about the graduation rate. That's why you can have a 100% graduation rate in DCPS but fewer than 10% of the children passing the standardized test showing simple proficiency in math and English.[/quote]
