[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What public school in DC has a kiln and teaches pottery?[/quote]

I don't think this is that outlandish.  I am an elementary school teacher and our art classroom has a small kiln.[/quote]

Eastern, Dunbar and Roosevelt have lovely buildings. Of course they are filled with kids who can't score at grade level on CAPE. But by all means let's focus on what matters.[/quote]

Nearly all high-performing middle and high schools in the DMV also have lovely buildings. With kilns. And gyms and athletic fields and windows in the cafeteria. Good facilities don’t cause bad test scores.

Basis facilities are subpar. That fact is outweighed for some by other considerations, but don’t get it twisted. Bad facilities are still bad.[/quote]

lol.

Lots of terrible low-performing public middle and high schools in DC have lovely buildings, kilns, and much else.

DC spent over $128 million renovating Dunbar and almost all the kids there are below grade level in reading and math.[/quote]

Are you actually trying to argue that good facilities cause bad test scores?[/quote]
