[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My child is not awful. [b]The point is DC, despite having plenty of funding and thus the ability to have the best schools in the nation, has absolutely no interest in reforming it's educational system.[/b] None. The one competent person this city has had, dedicated to actually making a difference was run out of town like she was being chased by a witch hunt. Why? Because she wanted authority to fire underperforming teachers? It's laughable. I was educated in public school and wish that I could send my childen to public school but it isn't going happen. Not for a long long time. Sad but true.[/quote] The point is that if all the parents who can now avoid the public school system had to send their children to the public school system, they would successfully push for the public school system to change. The point is that plenty of funding is a necessary but not sufficient condition for good public schools -- but that's a different issue. The point is that "Michelle Rhee was run out of town because she wanted to have the authority to fire underperforming teachers" is a vast oversimplification -- but that's also a different issue.[/quote]
