[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]22:03 - Are you saying the administration is who is asking teachers to forego cases of unopened textbooks costing millions, and to instead fudge their own curricula using handouts and whatever other nonsense?[/quote]
Yes, that is what I am saying. What teacher wants to spend hours making handouts? At my school we are not allowed to use text books and the admin teams boosts about how 'we do not have teachers manuals' or consumables for kids. What teacher wants to write curriculum?[/quote]

If this is true, then it represents yet another massive, totally unacceptable fail on the part of DCPS.  No wonder everyone's fleeing to charters, to privates, and to public school districts outside of the city.[/quote]

Actually, the opposite is true, numbers at the best DCPS are increasing. Highly involved parents are holding teachers and admins feet to the fire to make these schools (Janney, Mann, Lafayette, Deal) amazing, exciting places to go to school. Sorry, if you aren't aware of how awesome these schools are, you've really had your head in the sand.[/quote]

The situation is that unless parents and taxpayers are right there screaming for change on a daily basis (as they are with the schools you mention), DCPS swiftly gravitates toward that status quo of ineffectuality, low quality and low expectations.[/quote]
