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

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.

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

This is not accurate.

Then please explain. His bio says he worked in the Philadelphia school system before taking the DME job.

OK, so the guy elects to send his kids to private school. Bowser supports him. She's won the last two elections. What can we do about it, other than try to prevent her from winning again? Nothing. Wealthy people in this city, the types who earn 200K plus, almost always send their kids to private schools. That's the way it's always been, and, presumably, always will be. Move on.

I think the issue is that he is preventing tens of thousands of children from getting an education, because it is supposedly not safe for kids to be in school, and yet his own children have been in school every day this entire time.

Of course he has his kids in private. This is a surprise how?

He certainly isn't doing that with his performance on the matter of school opening during the pandemic.

He can. But he should also take the heat when most of us reveal it as the ultimate in hypocrisy on his part

It is $46k/kid. He's paying $92K.

The pandemic has really illustrated how bad the people in the DC government are at their jobs.
