[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is my question why can New York and Philadelphia do better even with their poorer kids than DC. I agree closing schools does not solve years of failure, but status quo is obviously not working either. Are these kids just starting that much further behind? Is the curriculum worse? Parenting or teaching practices? The key issue to me is figuring out how to pull up that bottom 25 % because the cost of that level of failure is just too high. [/quote] Status quo? Not in DC! The status quo has been thoroughly shaken up by Michelle Rhee, Kaya Henderson and their rack shool reform staff. Still, educational suffers in the same way it did before reform. There's no reason to think that another shake up, this time with charter schools as the panacea, will make any difference. It's just more shuffling around for the kids and more $$ for the adults in charge.[/quote]
