[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bring on the vouchers and the education spending accounts!!!  Let DC thrive as a magnet to those who want quality education in a safe environment.  DCPS is good money after bad, and it has run its course into the ground.

Nope. There are 1000s of DCPS and charter parents with children thriving. We will fight tooth and nail to ensure that ALL schools in DC are high quality. That  will mean new DC laws imposing equal oversight on private schools, along with strict private school licensing requirements. [/quote]

Then why aren't you fighting for that now? The current voucher program in DC makes NO requirements on the private schools that use the vouchers. And so many of the schools are truly awful. Data on the schools is not publically available. Some don't have working bathrooms.

Anyone who actually cares about all students in DC is not in favor of the voucher program.[/quote]

I totally agree -- this is something we should have been fighting for before.  Let's do it now.  [/quote]

Congress is in charge of this so let's all call our Representatives and Senators and fight to fix it  ... oh wait. I guess we each need to call EVERY office in Congress. Get on it![/quote]
