[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha I know this is in the weeds but I wish somebody had the time to edit Valerie Jablow’s writing too. As much as I love what she does it feels like I need to parse too much to get through one of her posts.

Just headers and editing for length and repetition might fix most of it and she’d get more followers.

Her points are usually legitimate. A well-run charter sector would do DC credit, and instead we have a bunch of people serving themselves and their cronies regardless of student outcomes. [/quote]

Seriously. The PCSB has egg on their face over Eagle, they ignored her for years and she was right on target. And she's the only person paying attention to the real estate aspect of things, which is super important. And how Eagle's nightmare renovation and utter disregard for compliance with construction law was itself a red flag for their mismanagement and grift. I'm not saying I agree with her about everything, but she's certainly well-researched and doesn't lack for background knowledge. For example her connection of Friendship wanting to take over Eagle and Friendship's desire to open a new high school is super interesting. It's part of this time: https://educationdc.net/2026/02/10/the-education-mysteries-tale-6-the-disappearing-charter-board-chair/[/quote]

Fascinating and laughable. If there were any charter interests against Wright it was those strong, nationally-connected charters coming up for review -- charters with bad data who didn't want Wright considering their fate or voting on them. Wright made it clear in her time as chair that she believed in accountability and giving consequences to schools that weren't meting goals.[/quote]
