The Washington Post thinks so.
I'm not convinced by their style over substance argument.
As I blogged about here, I think Linda Cropp has a better education plan. Fenty's call to modernize DC's public school infrastructure is okay, but fixing brick and mortar is not going to fix what's ailing the capital's school system. The problem with DC Public Schools is a human problem, not a brick and mortar problem. With quality teachers, supportive and decisive principals and engaged parents, education will happen in even the shabbiest building. Without good teachers, principals and involved parents even the most sparkling new school facility will likely offer poor education to our kids. Linda Cropp gets it. I don't think Fenty does.
