[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If only things were that simple. Maybe we should be asking ourselves why DCPS is such a mess, yet city councils still don't get voted in our out over ed issues, let alone the DC Mayor.

-Signed parent who just spent thousands of dollars on tutoring for a 5th grader at SWS who couldn't spell, punctuate, capitalize to save his life at the start of the school year, or work at grade level in math despite being v. bright[/quote]

The city council doesn’t get voted out because there are a lot of good hearted, but ultimately naive idealist voters in this city with progressive liberal beliefs who have chosen to buy expensive little row houses. the type of people who like to ride cargo bikes, tout urbanist goals and put up yard signs and basically “be the change they want to see.” Yet they also somehow also believe that not prosecuting criminals, or taking away drivers licenses even if speeders rack up $12,000 in fines and kill three people on rock creek, or that paying over $26k per student every year for failing schools that teach to the lowest common denominator and push policies intended to water down academic vigor is intelligent policy.[/quote]

Well said. The naivete is rife. [/quote]

Indeed. [/quote]
