[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will repeat my prior statement. [b]Only someone who earns a paycheck from DCPS or WTU or has some equivalent vested interest could argue that the school system isn't better off now than it was before Rhee. In all honesty, I expected you WTU lackeys to try and argue that demographic shifts and gentrification would have happened anyway with the economic growth of DC and that, although things are better now, they'd have even better than they are now without Rhee.  I mean,  that'd be a BS argument, but it would at least play the cards as they lay.  What you two are doing is just laughable and sad.  You should get outside the teacher breakroom and WTU meetings and get some much needed perspective.[b][/b]

The more of your BS and whining and "me, me, me" crap I read on DCUM the less sympathy I have for teachers. People like you have taken lefty liberals like me who grew up in houses with teachers and completely turned me the other way. The fewer of you teaching my kid, the better.[/quote]

I posted the two posts you are referring to, one after the other, the first about Rhee's education campuses, destruction of MS, and her decision to vest feeder rights for OOB kids in 2009 that has caused tremendous overcrowding at Ward 3 schools from Janney to Deal to Wilson.  I also posted about the cheating scandal, the snobbery towards SWW, and how the recession had more of an impact than Rhee (at least in Ward 3).  In other places families may just be delaying moves to Moco.

[b]I am not and have never been a teacher.  I am white and live in Ward 3.  I have several children who have been at one DCPS and two charter schools where for the most part they got excellent educations but still have had some bad teachers at our JKLM and the charters, but at least at the charters it is not all up to one teacher.  I am not a fan of Rhee or Henderson and NEVER will be.  I think Rhee was an unethical opportunist who has made money off her "success" in DC when actually she created more problems than she solved, and Kaya Henderson is not only following in her footsteps but is stupid to boot, and I am not alone in my opinions on these matters. I am, however, exceedingly grateful that their failures have increased the number, variety, and caliber of charter schools in this city.  [/b][/quote]

Wow. You and your kind need to get your story straight.  Was it her failure that led to charter schools, or was that her master plan and she succeeded in propping up charters?

People in Ward 3 JKLM-land have no concept of the improvement in the schools over the last 15 years because your schools haven't seen the dramatic improvement (they had less distance to close). But I get your objection to OOB kids in your schools. And your objections to spending money on any schools not in Ward 3. Things should have stayed as they were; and DCPS should only spend money on the schools in your neighborhood. I feel you, girl.[/quote]
