[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s clear that the DCPS chancellor will need to be contacted regarding farce of a school[/quote]

My word. You must mean business. I bet he takes a day off to avoid you.[/quote]

It is that kind of attitude why nothing ever changes in DC and the public school system is so poorly regarded.  Fairfax parents didn’t like the new admissions policy at Thomas Jefferson and filed lawsuits immediately.[/quote]

They have some legitimate concerns and still have pretty much lost. Going against  a school system is not a cake walk. You would be going against DCPS. This blog doesn't have the organizing chops or the will for a fight with DCPS and allies. Only when private schools become out of reach will someone flip the switch. To my knowledge, DC has the highest percentage of kids in private schools in the country. So maybe we are close to the tipping point..[/quote]

No doubt that high income DC parents (unlike many high income suburban parents) would rather send their kids to private schools or flee to the suburbs by middle school.  It is this inertia to fight for change that leads to this pervasive cycle of mediocrity:  most top performing students do not go to high school at DCPS or charters. AND DCPS and charters do not attract or retain top teachers or administrators.[/quote]
