[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A local or federal government doesn't really have the right to close a private or religious school in the US.[/quote]

Are you saying Congress couldn’t pass a law mandating that all students are educated in the public school system?[/quote]

Given various court rulings, it would probably require a constitutional amendment.[/quote]

Probably?  Certainly.  [/quote]

Ok.  So let’s say closing private schools isn’t an option because of the hurdles.  What are the less burdensome options to create “excellent public schools” throughout DC?[/quote]

Spend money making sure the facilities are in good condition and the schools are appropriately staffed. The toughest part of creating "excellent public schools" is having a student body where a critical mass (hopefully a large majority) of students are focused on doing well academically. If most of them come from two parent households where both parents went to college (likely graduate/professional school too) this part is pretty easy. Otherwise it can be a big lift.[/quote]
