[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the writer of that story even buys that BS. Just reporting the other side. [/quote]

It was a puff piece.  A good article would have set a better context (and this article set a lot of context).

If Kaya wanted to really attract cultural leaders to DCPS (rather than seven random people), then she would have done some of those things that affluent parents are always demanding like G&T programs.

What 'confidence' does it build for regular citizens to see a handful of connected people go to schools that most people have little chance of getting in?  And before the IG report, who even knew that these oh-so-respected leaders had kids in DCPS?!

But judging from the comments on the WaPo article, the misdirection is working.  People dismss it as a victimless action.[/quote]

It could build confidence in DCPS if the connected people sent their kids to an EOTP or Ward 7 or 8 DCPS.

But sending your kid to Mann or Murch over Brightwood is only reinforcing the status quo.

+1000 and as it was all keept hush hush how would anyone know to be inspired. This is so ridiculous I don't know how Kaya could have kept a straight face  :oops:  :lol: [/quote]
