[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I mean he’s in zone for Dunbar, which they’ve tried to reconstitute at least twice and failed. I don’t think he nor anyone else should be forced to sacrifice their kids to that hellhole to have a life in public service. [/quote]

He can move or suffer, just like anyone else zoned for Dunbar.

The difference is he has been uin a position with some oversight of  schools![/quote]

As someone IB for Dunbar who can't afford private, please be quiet. Your attitude is the one I don't want anywhere near education policy in this city. "Just suffer or move"? Please stop.

Perhaps McDuffie's experience in realizing his IB schools didn't meet his family's needs [b]will guide his policymaking[/b] in ways that will benefit me,as someone in the same boat. I'd rather have someone who values education enough to consider all available options for his kids than someone who would stick his children in failing public schools for the sake of his political aspirations, that's for sure.[/quote]

Um, he's already been in a policy-making position for years.[/quote]

Not directly over schools. [/quote]

Do you have any idea how much legislation the council has made about how school works?

Do you understand the role they have in budgeting?'

Do you understand the role they have in oversight?

If the council members say by while  trash collection went down the tubes and just hired private collection for themselves, would you be okay with that?!
