[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And I am sure IMPACT got rid of some bad apples, but it also led to cheating which was NEVER investigated.  She did nothing about the bloated administration vs teachers, and her overall impact was negative.  What got white kids into the school system was the recession, not Rhee.

And if you want to see her failure most clearly, just look at the rise of charter schools, which she had nothing to do with - except by failing DCPS.... and all its kids who were [b]not white and high SES[/b]... who can get along almost anywhere, although maybe not with the education that everyone deserves.

Wilson always gets a pass but it ain't all that.  Finally, the gap that has increased between 2003 and 2013 on the NAEP happened here as well although poor is virtually synonymous with minority.  But the racial gap had always been there, and now there is a new one - scores based on SES.

PS.  The MoCo study is a great one because it followed kids for years and the makeup of the schools did not change because the poors were there due to subsidized housing.  Most significant finding?  Poor minority kids did equally badly if their population was 35% or 85%.  The tipping point is below 30.  They followed these kids all the way through for 7 years in different neighborhoods in different schools with different SES distributions.  I'll get the cite.  But the study is the only one of its kind and was only possible because of the subsidized housing and its depth and breadth makes it really worth paying attention to.  The other significant finding was that lower SES kids in smaller numbers did better even if they were in remedial classes - even if there was tracking, a finding DCPS ignores.........[/quote]
