[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Problem is, nobody in power much cares in this city of Dem machine politics and deep-rooted racial and social polarization. Case in point: the AG never bothered to investigate the school cheating scandal under Rhee.  An epidemic of rule-breaking was shamefully swept under the rug.  These days, a handful of DCPS buildings are renovated to the tune of 100 million+ while the highest performing neighborhood high school by a long shot--Wilson--makes do with one college counselor for 450 seniors.  Why should we be surprised?

Special treatment and lack of accountability and transparency has become the hallmarks of DCPS, not pernicious problems the Mayor, DC City Council and courts move boldly to address.  [/quote]

Plus, now we are reaping what we sow. What do folks think happened to all those kids caught up in the cheating scandal? No one ever went back and corrected their grades or retested them - they were passes along until they couldn't be any longer. Now that we have PARCC the scores shows the truth, the results are horrendous even WOTP. Now the narrative even DCPS allows to be unchallenged in the media is that the students at Wilson didn't try their best and many walked out on their tests. So, did DCPS or OSSE send monitors this year to be sure it wasn't happening - NO!  So, I guess they don't care about the results only how to spin them. The wheels are already turning. [/quote]
