[quote=Anonymous]If you want to help poor kids succeed, the focus should be making a school system acceptable to those who aren't trapped in it. That's the acid test of bona fide change, not improvements in poor kids' test scores. I teach a good many KIPP graduates at the college level. They are obviously trained to ace tests on which content is predictable, not to think, create, write, reason, analyze or socialize with peers who are mostly well-off and white. Most of the KIPP grads at my college drop out along the way, feeling overwhelmed academically AND socially. They work hard, but aren't prepared to tackle the challenges the school has in store for them. I'm not remotely optimistic about what this Chancellor will do for poor kids in DC schools. You bleeding hearts don't get it.[/quote]
