[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] That can all be true AND the thing that this OP in particular is complaining about be a NON-ISSUE. None of us who downloaded at the start of the school year (end of August) have had a problem. I simply don't see the evidence of THIS issue as a cluster-f*** at DCPS Central. There may be many other examples, but that doesn't make this complaint make sense. Hold DCPS accountable, but do it for REAL problems, not crap like this that isn't a problem.[/quote] This is a REAL problem for me. Do you even have children at DCPS?[/quote] Yes, 3. And I absolutely need to plan ahead for what they will do on these days as well. But the fact that planning ahead is serious simply does not mean that you being the only one who had this experience = DCPS is completely screwed up and has made, as you said, 4 calendar changes since the start of the year. Get all hyped up as much as you want, but even with all your hype, this still does not add up to a big deal. And next year you'll obviously compare what you got in July with what comes out at the end of August.[/quote]
