Inspired by article on Politico.com: Adrian Fenty loss worries education reformers

This is a very disappointing article. It makes me wonder if education reform is even possible in the inner city. Granted, the blame can't be pinned entirely on teachers as some of these kids are being failed big time by their parents. The question is, can any of this be fixed and if so, how? I thought [[since I don't live in D.C.) that Fenty and Rhee were doing a great job, guess the community does not agree.
