D.C. public schools has critical masses of students who are not eager to learn, and who don’t get support at home that education is important.

Dual tracking. Those that want to learn can go to one school and learn reading, writing and arithmetic. Those that don't want to learn can go to pre-prison day care.

I agree with you. But then Obama and others have talked about the school to prison pipeline.

Well, good luck to them with all of this, but I think that D.C. public schools have some severe problems which won’t be dealt with just by getting them a group of better quality teachers.
