[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will not accept that fact.  Now you have to be rich and educated to make DCPS thrive.  Isn't that a hoot.  [/quote]

And yet, KIPP makes it work for the poor and underprivileged as well.  Damn those charters and their profit-driven motives, someone might think they've figured something out which DCPS has not.

Newsflash:  if KIPP makes money by educating kids that DCPS has failed for generations?  Then making money deserves to come back into style.[/quote]

I've in favor of the opportunity KIPP gives motivated families and their kids a chance for a good education while staying in their communities.  I don't mind that KIPP makes money doing it.  However, I don't think they could succeed if they tried to serve everyone in that community, because not everyone is motivated and ready to learn according to KIPP standards.

Neighborhood schools are charged with educating all children.  They need more supports to do that.  Closing them down and trying to turn them into KIPPs won't work, except for a fortunate few.[/quote]  I agree with this.  And on the other end of the spectrum, many kids don't need KIPP to succeed, because they have supportive, educated, motivated parents.  I guess the poral of the story is no one model works best for every kid.  Shocking, I know.  [/quote]
