[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Articles like this one frustrate me, because they interview individual participants but future actions to combat the problem have not been identified, either in DCPS or in other urban jurisdictions.  [/quote]

That's Emma Brown's stock in trade: interview a few friends and acquaintances on the Hill; attend a public dcps meeting; scan DCUM for story ideas, trends, the pulse of the educated classes.   Repeat. [/quote]

Isn't that the truth!  She's just pathetic.  Remember Bill Turque?  Investigative reporting?  He was the first to uncover the testing erasure scandal, long before anyone else paid attention.  He was also unafraid to pander, and didn't kowtow to the WaPo's editorial board.  I've often thought that's why he left.  Jay Matthews is in bed with the testing companies who coincidentally are (or were) part of the same conglomerate as the WaPo itself.  Valerie Strauss has little of interest to say to anyone not a member of the WTU.  Emma takes the cake though, she subtracts value from the reportage in her simple echoing of whomever she's spoken to most recently.
