Reply to comment by Surefinewhatever1111 in Republican congressman calls D.C. schools ‘crappy,’ ‘inmate factories’ by Ok_Culture_3621

Not mad but I do think that charters inhibit the betterment of neighborhood schools.I send my kid to a neighbor school and many highly engaged neighbors see theirs to charters. I’d love to have the neighborhood school have those engaged parents and their PTA fund raising ability helping out DCPS and all those kids who’s parents don’t “GAF”.

Absolutely nonsense. They had DECADES to improve themselves before charters and never made an effort to do so. DCPS, especially the Central Office, is a jobs program for Ward 9 and the shills who depend on it.

No one in my neighborhood who cares about their kids sends theirs to the local.

“Improve themselves”? Schools are only as good as the parents that send their kids to them. The best teachers and administrators can only make so much of a difference. I’ve seen this with both my kids going to two different city schools. This is the falacy of public education. The main factor are the parents. Schools can do little to move the needle beyond what the home environment provides.
