Good ol' Oyster Adams. He was a drunk and a dirty ol' cuss, but he sure liked drivin' that ol' school bus.

hey mike, they're kids, not professional musicians. have you seen the film? it's terrifically uplifting and makes you feel damn good about the city, and the kids at ballou specifically. i'd cut them a little slack.

Ballou Marching Band: Heartwarming story. Great choreography and uniforms. Nice film. Sigh. If only the band sounded good. Get music education back into DCPS now.

Ok, i'll ask. So what's the root causes she needs to be attacking, Soulquarian84?

why should rhee attempt to attack the root causes of continued school failure? that's too hard so i can see why she's focusing on superficial solutions.

There's always the chance that they could be (re)hired by the MPD. Stranger things have happened there.

They won't get rehired...you can't fire admins during the school session so what choice does she have?

I would love to see a list of who was let go, so that we could start a betting pool on who ends up getting rehired in August because DCPS couldn't get enough warm bodies to apply. Betting pool, anyone?
