[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding DC schools, which, yes, have more money thrown at them than any school system I've ever seen, mostly to dismal results...

The lottery system and its subsequent churn waste so much money. Charter schools and the structures that have spring up supporting them waste more. Take a look at the rates at which lower income kids change schools, at faculty retention numbers. Instead of blaming parents, figure out how someone working 70 hours weeks and more than one job can also have the means to supervise their family. [/quote]

I agree that public education could be endlessly "looked at" in DC and is a huge mind *. However, public charters did more for our city than anything else to galvanize public schools to be more 'competitive'.  What we need is specialized public or public charter schools to divert the really difficult children to, rather than 'inclusion for all', including chair-throwing Johnny. KIPP gets a bad rap from the charter-haters, but its longer school day serves a portion of the population really well. We'd be at a loss without KIPP. More specialization, not less.[/quote]
