I saw a news blurb on TV yesterday that said the illiteracy rate was higher in DC than the rest of the nation. Then today, I saw this:
Yesterday, DC Public Schools announced “major” changes to their high school curriculum. At a time when high schools across the country are focusing on improving rigor, offering college credits through early colleges, and holding schools accountable for preparing today’s students for tomorrow’s jobs, DCPS has decided to take a slightly different tact — devalue high school by letting students choose a four or five year track for completion.
Brilliant. One has to wonder if the administrators of the public schools share that unusually high illiteracy rate with the rest of DC.

I wonder if the teachers are going to toss a coin to see who does the diaper changing?
