[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't you love the final scenes where Gray said DC CAS scores were at a "five-year high?"  It's cleverly phrased like that to throw you off from the fact that the highest scores in the last five years were five years ago.

That's right - in 2007, before Rhee arrived in the summer of that year.

Then Kaya says she doesn't "live or die" by the yearly scores  -- but doesn't mention that her teachers and principals do  - based on her directives.

[b]People - what is going on here and why do we let it continue?[/b][/quote]

This is what I don't understand.

Years ago, before the internet and so much focus being placed on the dsyfunction in DCPS, I can understand.

Now that we KNOW what type of foolery is going on, why do we allow it to continue.

It's too bad this documentary wasn't released on the same level Waiting for Superman was. Too bad these filmmakers and principal didn't get their turn on Oprah's couch.

It seems that if it doesn't fit the "blame the teachers, principals, schools" narrative it doesn't get heard.
