[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the bolded statement reads as incredibly privileged.  it should be about providing everyone at all levels with great schools.  (while improving the middle schools could use more attention, my overall impression of bowser is that she does for the most part care about kids in dc.)[/quote]

Incredibly privileged people like us on Capitol Hill (read many Federal employees) deserve neighborhood middle and high schools most of us are OK with for our tax dollars.  Unfortunately, we're almost as far from having them as we were nearly 20 years ago, when my spouse and I bought our first property in the neighborhood.

Our overall impression is that Bowser could absolutely care less if UMC families with school-age kids, particularly whites, bail on city schools, and the District itself for that matter.  Fenty cared, Gray, too.  Not this short-sighted mayor.[/quote]

I won't say she doesn't care. She's a status quo type. They don't innovate or have the stomach for change, period. Plus look at her DC primary educational background-too my knowledge private schools. At least high school. In her mind, this may be the way it's supposed to work. I don't vote for anyone that doesn't have a family. You need to have a basic understanding of what the needs are. Mayoral control needs to end because it's to dependent on the skill level of the office. [/quote]
