[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A man cannot serve two masters: GDS or the people of DC, not both. [/quote]

GDS is the new "but what about her emails?"[/quote]

Pathetic[/quote]

Would you eat at a restaurant at which the cook considers the food too crappy to eat it himself?

There is *no* justification for a council member or top city admin to send their kids to private school.  Possibly high school in special circumstances, but not before that.[/quote]

As a DCPS parent who has seen what is great and what is not great about DCPS (time in a great Title 1, a not great Title 1, and in a non-Title 1 school), I can think of dozens of justifications for literally anyone sending their kids to private school if they can afford it and it makes the sense for their family.[b] I don't need politicians to martyr themselves to public school in order to vote for them.[/b] That doesn't mean I'll vote for McDuffie, but I think this is a dumb argument against him.

Actually this whole conversation makes me really wish Christina Henderson was running for mayor. She is better than either JLG or McDuffie. And she is even a DCPS parent, so could shut down this whole line of argument. I really wish she'd run.[/quote]

"Martyr themselves"?!  What about the rest of us?!

These are the people who make choices that make DCPS and DCPCS functional or dysfuctional.  They don't just get to decide that "meh. Too hard to fix..."[/quote]

We're your kids offered a spot at GDS with enough financial aid that you could afford it, and did you reject it in favor of DCPS?[/quote]
