Reply #54: I don't think money is the issue in DC

You could spend a million dollars a student in certain parts of DC and he or she is still going to come from a one-parent or no-parent home and have a disgustingly high chance of either getting killed, arrested, or having a child before he or she is 18.

It also doesn't help matters that DC Public Schools is where Marion Barry sent the majority of his lackeys during his reign here so it is filled to the brim with overpaid, uncaring administrators who are generally unqualified or remarkably corrupt.
