[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS, for years running, has the highest per-pupil $$ allocation in the entire nation -- and the organization still complains it's not enough.  There is so much waste in the entire organization, in the form of too many full-time-employees, paid very very generous salaries, which has the effect of sucking away the money from the kids who need it the most.  Plus, there is an unknowable amount of fraud and graft -- just look at the charter school fraudsters to get a picture of what is also likely happening in the DCPS organization.[/quote]

Amen! one of the main reasons that schools in NW are better is because parents hire more aids and pay for all kinds of resources.  When will DC get their act together???  We are talking about a calendar here, not rocket science.

Also, it doesn't really matter whether is was late July or early August.  The calendar should have been ready.  It has changed significantly (like one day each month from the version i had).  To me that reeks incompetence.  [/quote]

Do you realize that the DCPS in upper NW have the same calendar as every single other DCPS throughout the rest of the city?

Also, I, like other PPs, downloaded the calendar in August and never had a PD day on my schedule for December. If you really want to rant about DCPS, then I suggest you find something real to complain about and stop making things up.[/quote]

I swear some people only come on DCUM when they need to be nasty to someone.  Yes, darling, I do realize that the same calendar is for the whole district.  That is PRECISELY that was so peeved that it was wrong.  This is real to me as a working parent who has to do a lot of juggling when school is out.  I don't begrudge them for being out, but please let me know when that's going to be so I can plan.  What part of that is made up?  Wait, actually, please don't bother responding. [/quote]
