[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, blaming the school board? How retro. And pork barrel senators? That's just bizarre.

Fenty took control of the schools and appointed Rhee. Rhee quit in a huff and then Kaya took over.

Lack of textbooks is the fault of DCPS admin, Kaya Henderson and her minions of 6 figure non-teachers.

BTW, DCPS has had standards of what to be taught since Janney was super. They were quite good and largely cribbed from Massachusetts, some of the best in the nation.

While it's true the Common Core standards are new, it is a failure of Rhee and now Henderson to work on curriculum.

DCPS parent here, who has been around long enough to know when the she's being lied to...

Not bizarre. Maybe you can find a better source, but here is one of many to confirm that one doesn't need to be paranoid to know that textbook adoption processes are driven by considerable corporate and political interests: http://www.edexcellencemedia.net/publications/2004/200409_madworldoftextbookadoption/Mad%20World_Test2.pdf[/quote]

+1...  Textbooks are a huge racket.[/quote]
