Public Schools

Thanks to the Liberals, the dumbing down of our school system continues....

In a blistering series, the Post has documented how badly the bureaucrats have run public education. More than half of the District of Columbia’s kids spend their days in "persistently dangerous" schools, with an average of nine violent incidents a day in a system with 135 schools.

"Principals reporting dangerous conditions or urgently needed repairs in their buildings wait, on average, 379 days … for the problems to be fixed," according to the Post. But hey, at least the kids are getting a lousy education. A mere 19 schools managed to get "proficient" scores or better for a majority of students on the district’s Comprehensive Assessment Test.
