[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been in DC for about 15 years, and in that time, DC has had about 6 superintendents. Rhee just seemed like all of the rest: they came in talking about "reforms", none of which had been empirically tested, and left after a few years for greener pastures. [b]There are programs that do work to raise achievement among children who are from low SES backgrounds. These programs, like KIPP or AVID in San Diego, generally keep kids in school longer ( longer days and longer years), and they teach kids study skills explicitly. [u]Unfortunately that's expensive, so no one wants to do it.[/u][/b][/quote] ^This. [/quote] DCPS already spends more per student than any other district. The money should be available. The whole system needs a top-to-bottom re-evaluation.[/quote]
