"I seriously think DC should approach the districts in MD and VA about sending its kids to their schools"

This is similar to suggestions that MD take back DC--why on earth would MD and VA want the headache?

Given the massive shift in DC demographics over the last two decades, and the corresponding decline in some suburban schools, I think one could make the argument that this is already happening...

DCPS will improve to the extent that there is a shift in the proportion of extremely poor kids to middle-class kids enrolled. If that happens, things will improve. If not, not.

As far as HogWash's assertion that there's no difference between Rhee and Henderson, that very similarity is one of the biggest points of grievance to a lot of erstwhile Gray supporters. Read the comments section of the WaPo education blogs--the idea that the anti-Rhee reactionaries are somehow just fine with Kaya is pure fantasy. They hate her, and see Gray's support as a betrayal.
