[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If DCPS is not fully open in the fall, the effects will be felt for generations. The city’s school system will completely lose (if it hasn’t already) the credibility it has built up over the past two decades. MC/UMC families will flee to MD and VA, worsening test scores and depriving the city of tax revenue. Crime will continue to increase as bored and disillusioned teenagers get their kicks from ripping off other people’s stuff. Most importantly, the achievement gap - already monumental (ahem!) - will widen further as kids across the rest of the world go on learning while DCPS flails away with its surface tablets. If Robert White thinks that peddling such a future is going to get him elected mayor fine, but by then, DC won’t be much of a city to be mayor of. [/quote] I don’t think it is fair to misquote Robert White. He has not said anything about schools not opening in the fall. The chancellor alluded to it but then hastily retreated.[/quote]
