[quote=Anonymous]The equity issues have already been raised on DCUM of all places. Location probably doesn't rise to the top on need, accessibility, public school participation, density, and cynically seems to perpetuate notion that school desirability is associated with neighborhood income and whiteness.

The WAPO doesn't seem to be that interested in that issue set, frankly. Their education editorials are all stuck in Fenty-land about how charters are our friends, schools used to have no books!, Michelle Rhee generally had the right idea on everything, and an empowered School Board would ruin the DC school system (it's doing awesome under a hands-off Mayor, of course).

I think it's par for the course from this Mayor, who's happier to paint a street than spend money and push DC staff to make a difference for people instead of contractors.

I have no illusions that the Mayor would try to meet this need more equitably directly (or indirectly, e.g., through boundaries), or that she would be capable of the legwork to get buy-in.

Or that the Post would care about any of it.[/quote]
