[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] -At some level do appreciate that DCPS is coming clean on an issue a lot of school districts sweep under the rug. [/quote] As far as I know (at least in VA) local districts have fully funded libraries with certified librarians. Maybe other urban school districts are doing what DC has been doing, but as far as other local public school districts go, DC is way behind the curve. Until I read the WaPo article, I had NO IDEA that "the District dedicates no annual funding for school-library collections, instead relying on the largesse of parents or the kindness of strangers to stock its shelves through donations." I found this to be really shocking! It is easy to say, well, DC has great public libraries, but most elementary kids will not just go there on their own. If their parents don't take them, they will not check out books. [/quote]
