[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, I'm ready to go down the funneling route with you.

How do you do it?

This is the crazy thing. Why are parents trying to figure this out?  DCPS should have the ability to look at similar situations in big cities with similar demographics, look at their best practices and somehow apply them to DC taking in consideration current data, feeder patterns, needs assessments and all the rest that the "experts" at central office should have a handle on.

There are school districts across the country that have the same issue. It is not novel.  The problem is the political climate in DC that prohibits even discussing the issue ( while plenty of other jurisdictions have named the problem, come up with ways to address the issue and already know what works and what doesn't).

Bottom line, parents don't have enough of a bird's eye view of the school system to puzzle this out and DCPS officials refuse to puzzle this out.  We need a leader who will make this happen.[/quote]
