[quote=Anonymous]DCPS has failed students just in the last five years by insisting that all that was needed were excellent teachers who could raise reading and math comprehension dramatically so kids who were behind could get up to grade level. It was always a stupid idea, based on beliefs instead of common sense. Before that (and now) the city failed students by not not taking their home lives into consideration and just offering social promotion and worthless diplomas to kids who didn't have the benefits of a stable home life. Schools can't make up for what those kids lack. When is society going to accept that and start helping those kids?[/quote]
