[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm having a really hard time with this election, I have serious reservations about both of these candidates.

We are a family that put our kids in both DCPS and charter, and want robust, challenging classes and well-supported teachers.

Let's start a thread -- i would love to hear from people about their experiences with JLG and McDuffie on schools.

McDuffie is disqualified from being considered because BOTH of his kids were/are at GDS. So not just any private school but the most exclusive, expensive school in the area. [/quote] This. I am stuck on the GDS thing. How do you trust someone to lead DCPS that has abandoned our schools? Also how does a council member and a CSOSA employee pay for two kids to go to GDS?

Don't you have friends who send their kids to private school? I don't actually see a problem with this. If anything, it means he acknowledges that the current public school system is lacking somehow and maybe will be motivated to make it better.

EVeryone should go read JLG's WTU questionnaire, which is linked in the thread. She wants to "ease creditialing" for teachers in order to bring on more immigrant and Black male teachers -- those are her words. And drop IMPACT. that means she does not want to focus on teacher quality at all, but on teacher demographics. [/quote]
