Give me a freaking break. The graduation rate for boys of color in DC is 38%. If you want to increase graduation rates, start with boys. These schools are INCREDIBLY successful in Chicago. Compared to the boys in DC, girls are doing great.

I have one son in DCPS and another in an all boys school. There is a huge difference. I'm sorry, but boys are different and learn differently. Schools are already for girls.


Or maybe there aren't such large differences.
