[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP seems to have something against Henderson/Rhee personally. I don't personally agree -- I think they've been fairly good -- but what's great about DC is that you have options. If you don't think DCPS would do well for your child, enroll them in one of the 60+ other public school districts in DC (aka charter schools).[/quote]i

NOT OP, but don't you think it is a bit ironic that Rhee established all these k-8 "education campuses" which Kaya acknowledges are not working, are total failures, and when being grilled by David Catania in a public meeting when he was still chair of the Education Committee about the middle school problem her first response was that we should hand it all over to charter schools because they seem to be doing so well with middle schools?  And that her response now after the whole "process" are these mythical middle schools that our kids are going to be sent to that don't EXIST right now?  Alice Deal for all?  How bout middle schools for everyone.

Too big of an ask, I know.

Rhee closed all those middle schools and set up the "education campuses" that are now widely acknowledged by everyone to be failures.  That was "fairly good" decision making?  That now they have to reverse completely and some of us are zoned for unicorn middle schools that don't even exist?  And Rhee is making millions of dollars because of her "success" in DC, even though her draconian policies led to wide spread cheating on the DC CAS that was conveniently never investigated by her or Kaya, and we are still the worst school system in the nation according to the NAEP.

Please enlighten me on how these two people have done "fairly well" by holding teachers at failing schools responsible for their failing kids without giving the teachers or the kids the support they need to help those kids succeed?[/quote]
