[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Epic failure of DCPS.  Fail to educate children in elementary school.  These kids then go to very sub-par middle schools and now let's exclude those kids from attending most of the public high schools in DC.

And then we can blame the bureaucracy that we put in place.

When will someone stand up for the children of DC?

That's the only way we can improve test scores, because Rhee/Henderson/TFA/Charter Schools et al said it is ALL the teachers fault. Before you get voted out of DC you have to show some results.

Get those fresh out of "the best and the brightest" universities and give them 5 weeks training and a teaching certificate and test scores will rise!!!!  When that doesn't work manipulate the test scores, open a multitude of charter schools to drain all the top talent, threaten the teachers and stress them out and fire the bottom x percent every year (Rhee documented tactic), control the media (Washington Post). Well all else fails bring in an outside agency to turn around your school with NO oversight (Friends of Bedford). Still failing, make your school an application school and fool all those around you by blowing lots of smoke and surround yourself with mirrors. When you read most of the posts on DCUM about failing or title I schools, their tactics apparently appear to be working well!!!

And your solution to improve the schools is.....?

*crickets chirping*

Look, WTU/DCPS apologist, we already tried it your way for 20 years prior.  Doing it your way is what got us schools as screwed up as they are.[/quote]

Mmmmmmmmmmm so that's why the divide between black and white test scores are worst than ever. Keep believing the hype why don't you. [/quote]

Oh, I see.

For decades, Washington DC was AA-run, overwhelming majority AA population, with horrible school results across the board.   Now, there's a growing population of white folks who've moved in, and their white kids are doing better than the AA kids (who haven't changed and are still getting the same horrible results) but somehow now it's all suddenly the fault of white people.
