[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The trouble is that the schools haven’t improved. You could say there isn’t a sufficient critical mass, but that’s not it.[/quote] Many elementary schools in DC have improved because of gentrification.[/quote] It’s mainly the kids though. My kid went to an elementary school that “flipped” due to gentrification- the absolute best teachers there had been there for decades. [/quote] But what is the flip — the delta? Best teachers there in decades could be objectively good or still substandard? A few years ago during a school visit, middle schoolers were doing a single digit multiplication using transparencies! And yet the teachers work really hard. What gives?[/quote]
