[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While y'all continue to echo off each other here, the Council is hearing a wide majority of witness in favor of changing the governance structure.[/quote]

Idk the guy talking right now is supporting mayoral control and calling what it used to be "a mess".[/quote]

And the next person testifying also support mayoral control.

Also the woman from Georgetown who has done research on DC schools is supporting mayoral control.....[/quote]

I submitted detailed written testimony in favor of mayoral control. I’m sure I’m not the only parent. [/quote]

So did I.[/quote]

I sure hope WTU is enjoying the chickens coming home to roost. Pre-pandemic this never would have been on my radar. Now I woke up early in the morning to write a detailed bill analysis to make sure WTU never gets any more power than it has. [/quote]

This is so funny to me.  You think the current system is a mess, and yet you are loudly proclaiming that we should keep it. [/quote]

we are able to see that the proposals would create a bigger mess[/quote]

This is the point that several seem to be missing -- change doesn't always mean that things will get better. They could get much worse. This proposal is simply about change and not about improvement. [/quote]

And the change doesn't even address the problems!  It was infuriating to watch Robert White try and say to Shannon Hodge that she had no urgency about helping kids, while she was talking about a research initiative on what would help improve students' education.  And then he says that because he care about urgency he wants to....change a governance structure.  God it was so gross.[/quote]
