[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No thanks. We like our in-boundary DCPS (8 years in).  We've been on the LSAT and PTA board.

Good news that OSSE has stopped hassling families who opt out of PARC over attendance.[/quote]

Well, then you should know better.  Stop undermining DCPS.  They have enough problems as it is.[/quote]

I know that DCPS has enough problems of its own making.  System leaders could have ensured that basic devices were provided to all K-12 students long before the pandemic.  A number of developing countries, including Ecuador and Costa Rica did that years go, along with our near neighbors in the burbs: Arlington, Fairfax, MoCo, even PG County. Instead DCPS poured vast resources into Taj Mahal renovations of high schools and middle schools that sit more than half empty here in 2022.  Dunbar, Jefferson Academy and Eliot-Hine fit the bill.

If DCPS would bother to go with a halfway decent test that's 5 hours or less, families wouldn't opt out. Dozens of states have ended their opt out issues ion the past decade by doing just that.

Who gains when DCPS is let off the hook for one epic but eminently preventable mistake after another.  Poor kids?[/quote]
