If the DPS educated people now, this would be a travesty. Since it pretty much doesn't, I can't get too worked up. This plan is callous and insane, but from an educational standpoint it is really just more of the same. I guess if it destroys the exam schools there may be some actual damage to kids, but otherwise I would expect the DPS teachers and administrators to be the main victims.
I think the people who think it is a big problem for the redevelopment of the city are wrong. The people who are moving into the city were always very unlikely to use the DPS. Anything that makes the DPS go away and paves the way for alternatives is probably a positive.
