The National Research Council Makes Its Report, Finally
It feels like forever that DC Public Schools have been known as one of the worst (if not the worst) public school systems in the nation. Low test scores and high dropout rates back up the perception. Twenty years ago, DC School Reform Act of 1995 (a gift from Congress, not a District initiative) gave us charter schools. Many Washingtonians with an investment in the school system (i.e. parents, students, teachers, etc. ) believed that this was the answer. But after ten years, the numbers hadn’t improved—not in the new charters or in the traditional public schools.

OK, some of the options on "Filtered HTML" were turned off. Those are back on now, and a test is in "unpublished content". It should be possible to re-edit this article with formatting (rich text, WYSIWYG) now. There is an option to set that up by configuring "Filtered HTML" in admin/site configuration/WYSIWYG profiles. At present though there are more formatting options than the html filter will actually permit, such as underscore.
