[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good, DCUM should be on fire right now mainly because Bowser isn't serious about raising standards in our schools, particularly middle schools.

DCPS needs to come under far more pressure to track academically across the board, and to improve school discipline. They need to do this to start serving in-boundary populations in gentrifying neighborhoods well.

The leadership resists like mad, as though local voters are not important stakeholders.  If rising DCPS middle school programs routinely offered bona fide advanced classes in English, math, social studies and science, they'd take off.  Instead, we get Honors for All at Wilson, Grosso trying to shift parent-provided PTO funds from functional schools to dysfunctional ones with weak oversight, DCPS pouring tens of millions of dollars into half empty middle school buildings in Ward 6 (Eliot-Hine, Jefferson Academy) with no prospect of these buildings filling up on their current sad development trajectories etc.[/quote]

Bowser is serious about raising standards, if by raising standards you mean “improving test scores for only students currently scoring 1-3 on the PARCC”.

It appears that any kids currently getting a 4 or 5 on the PARCC Bowser doesn’t care about.[/quote]
