[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC decided it was better to offer an alternative to failing schools in the form of charter schools rather than fix and integrate public schools.  I'm not saying this was a bad decision, just that now that they have gone all in on charters, its going to be hard to unring that bell and make public schools attractive to families.  My wish would be for more integrated neighborhoods, but until that happens, for an excellent, walkable public school in every neighborhood.[/quote]

DC didn't choose charters. They were imposed by a Republican congress. Thanks, Newt Gingrich. [/quote]

Giving families options for a better academic experience.  Those hateful bigots!

Instead, we should, well, umm, it’s the Republicans fault that all of these cities’ school systems, police, etc are run terribly!, right?   It is NOT the fault of the Party that has run those cities for 60 yrs, right?   Let’s keep electing the same folks, and keep blaming the Republicans, hurray!

1/3 of DCPS employees couldn’t tell Michelle Rhee what their job was!   How dare she ask such a question.  Not to worry, the  teachers union, made sure she was run out of town.

Too funny that all of you DC libs talk diversity, but were ok with DCPS firing a Wilson Principal for being gay, and they tried to fire a lesbian elementary school teacher, for being a lesbian, till some Parents/lawyers threatened a lawsuit.  The latter was the best teacher any of my kids have ever had.   [/quote]

What school and what year?  My kids elementary school had a teacher change gender a number of years back, DCPS was unbelievably and appropriately supportive and sent a very senior person to the meeting I was at where it was discussed with parents (I had no idea this would be discussed at that meeting, was there for a different issue) and clearly supported by the school and wider DCPS administration.  A few parents were a little freaked out but years later it is a complete non issue and that teacher is one of the favorites of all the kids.  I have zero idea whether the kids are aware or not, my child who had this teacher never mentioned anything about it, just raved about the teacher.[/quote]
