[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing's going to keep families in poverty more than not having a good set of life skills needed to make it on their own. That is precisely why multi-generational poverty persists. Nobody in DC ever seems to want to acknowledge that, nobody wants to address that fundamental reality head-on.[/quote] Exactly, DCPS needs to focus on the basics to lift everyone up not on "happy students" and whether students "like" there school or not. If you can't read, you can't read, and will not be successful whatever school you go to regardless of how good the school, principal, or teachers are. If you can't acknowledge that students, who for years have been passed through the system, do not in actuality have the necessary skills then you can't meet the student's needs. If parents can't read, and had negative experiences with the DCPS system, then they do not make educated decisions about the academic needs of their children. [/quote]
