[quote=Anonymous]I actually agree with OP, to a certain extent. I think all public schools should provide a good education. The buildings should be safe, the teachers should be invested, there should be some basic level of differentiation offered, etc. Sure, more affluent neighborhoods may more often get attractive bells and whistles--I'm thinking certain language options, or niche approaches like Montessori--but every school should have a "floor" level of learning that is adequate for the basics. The problem is that this *isn't* the case in DC--some of the schools are really terrible. The buildings are falling apart, the teachers routinely yell at students, etc. I know there will inevitably be differences between affluent and non-affluent areas of the city. I just wish it was somewhat more equitable than it is.[/quote]
