[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh I get it. Latin does amazing things, while Ballou fails kids. So charters should get more support.

Now let's compare Walls to any of the *80* charter schools that have closed since 1996.[/quote]

Until this year, kids at Latin's Cooper campus had to play and have gym class in the parking lot, among the teachers' cars, because there was nowhere else for them to do it.

Here's Ballou: https://perkinswill.com/project/ballou-senior-high-school/[/quote]

Yes, Ballou was ridiculously renovated (last decade).

Most DCPS schools are nothing like Ballou.

Many DCPS schools don't have gyms and have limited outdoor space.

So again, you can keep cherrypicking the best of one system vs the worst of the other system, but it is a useless approach to illustrating any real point.[/quote]

What are you even talking about? The city is spending *billions* renovating DCPS schools. These schools are so over-the-top fancy they are used by architectural firms in their advertising.
