The other problem with that is with the poverty that exists in D.C, a big percentage of the population would not be able to afford said schools. The focus IMO should be on improving D.C’s existing public schools. And I agree with Joanne that merely saying things doesn’t solve anything. It’s my opinion that a strong public school system is good for the country as a whole because it fosters mobility.

Exactly. We’ll become third world in short time without the vast educational system we have. Flaws and all, everyone needs an educational foundation to have a shot at any upward mobility.
