In this week's City Paper, you'll find:

It's the EDUCATION ISSUE! Arthur Delaney has the main story, on the efforts of local parents to start their own charter schools. To paraphrase Hillary Clinton: if you do this, you better be in it to win it.
Huan Hsu discusses the state of the D.C. Tutition Assistance Grant Program. It's helped thousands of D.C. kids attend college, but graduation rates have foundered.
Chris Peterson explains what exactly you need to do to fire an incompetent DCPS teacher. Two-page spread flowchart!
In Loose Lips: James Jones on the impending irrelevance of schools superintendent Clifford Janey.
In Show & Tell: Jessica Gould on how nightclubs are taking interns who do their promotions work for college credit.
In Cheap Seats: Dave McKenna on a Roosevelt High student and Ethiopian immigrant who's on the fast track to sports-photography fame.
In Young & Hungry: Tim Carman on a pair of neighborhood haunts: Eamonn's Chipper and the resurrected Stoney's.
Plus film, music, theater, books, and more
