There's probably a huge amount of waste in the DC school system. Has to be if they are spending that much with so poor results. Probably top heavy with administrators that make way too much for doing way too little. Probably too many teachers that no longer teach, just put in their time and collect their check. There's no doubt teaching in any inner city school system takes a special kind of person. Not every teacher is cut out for that. Find the good ones and pay them handsomely, they CAN chnge lives. Unfortunately, there's too many teachers and administrators that are just along for the ride. Throwing money at a problem seldom fixes it. It just lines the pockets of the corrupt. Fix the system, then fund it appropriately. I suspect the problems are systemic, been there for years. It will take a very strong person to create the change needed.
