King/Pierce county school districts please.... !0 points for the best answer...whoever can figure this out... Thanks so very much.

A: I don't think any special schools like that exist here. (At least not that I've heard of or I could find - and I'm in the education field). Your best bet might be to enroll at the "Alternative" high school in your school district. If you have a good support network (parents/grandparents) who can help you, then attending regular school isn't unreasonable. Some high schools have onsite daycare. Call the central office of your school district and ask.

Q: Does the Washington, D.C. school system suffer from entrenched cronyism they way this article states?
From the Associated Press: "... urban schools, Washington's are struggling to educate students amid poverty and violence. Students also have suffered because of entrenched cronyism, which has led to incompetent bureaucracy and fiscal mismanagement." If this is true, then why would D.C. have any more cronyism than any other school system?

A: DC doesn't have any more cronyism than any other school system. DCPS's decline has been magnified by the flight of middle class students towards private and charter schools, thus leaving behind a population fraught with social problems. Having taught in several systems, my harshest criticism is that the field of education has always been a great meal ticket for the unambitious. When you have decisionmakers, who don't really care, funneling projects to their buddies, who also don't really care, this is what you get. When you have people who are just in it for the paycheck, because education is probably their best shot at a decent salary and they can't or won't handle the expectations of private sector employers, this is what you get. No matter the problem, it is indeed the students who suffer.
