It would be extremely foolish for DC to go down a path that's already been proven not to work.

We need *thoughtful* solutions, not "ed reform" pro-charter crap. Set asides, carefully thought out choice sets for some places, and other measures that encourage integration.

Integration is such a liberal white folks things.  Have you actually talked to any black folks almost none actually want it.  In fact most people are fine with the current DC education landscape.

The key for schools is always the principal.  There are several success stories with public and charters getting real results with at-risk kids.  Its time to take some of the assistant principals at these schools and give them their own schools.  That's the only change that needs to happen.  [/quote]

I am the PP you're responding to - I agree with you by and large. The integration I'm more concerned about is where white gentrifiers refuse to attend their zoned schools.  Totally agree about the role of principals - with their key role being ensuring quality teaching.  [/quote]

that's tricky too.  In many of these neighborhoods you have black folks lottering in that are perfectly fine with the school.  Once more white folks start attending they start to try and take over plus they take OOB spots away.
