[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools in DC are lavishly funded, including the terrible ones. The facilities are gorgeous; teachers' salaries are very, very generous. Money isn't the problem. [/quote]

This is just completely untrue. As someone typing this from an ES where we still don't have an elevator, functioning water fountains, consistent heat/ac, among others[/quote]

Per pupil spending is 22.5k which is more than almost anywhere else in the country. [/quote]

You know the # but not what it means or why it is so high. DC has to fund all schools within a single, high cost city environment. Contrast that with states like CA where there are rural districts and Alabama where they would rather pray than do book learning.

But by all means, continue to repeat a meaningless stat.  [/quote]

Alabama has higher test scores that we do. The question people should be asking is how is it possible to spend so much money on DC schools and have so little to show for it. Some of these schools are nicer than colleges and yet their test scores are among the very worst in the country.
