I can see an argument for that, although I don't necessarily agree with it.  Any of you critics ever done something similar? [/quote]

He shouldn't have run for this office if he had already personally opted out of the system he was supposed to lead.[/quote]

Perhaps he recognizes that private schools are doing a better job educating kids and wants to help bridge the gap by helping DCPS catch up. Nothing wrong with this.[/quote]

He moved to DC for the job, so his kids enrolled in private at the same time as he started as DME.[/quote]

When he was asked about it when he took the job he said it was about having a strong bilingual education. So he must be unimpressed with the bilingual options in DCPS [/quote]

What bilingual option do you think he had with DCPS? [/quote]

if the options in DCPS weren't good enough for his kids, maybe he should have worked to improve the options in DCPS. There is an inherent problem with saying the system that he helps run is good enough for some kids, but not good enough for his kids   [/quote]

You didn’t address the question. He wanted a bilingual education for his kids. What option do you think he had at DCPS? I’m not aware of any unless he lucked out in the lottery (charter school) or lived in bounds for Oyster Adams.[/quote]

maybe the system that he helps run should have the offering more widely available if it is that important [/quote]
