DC Prep

Trailer:

Sadly, reliable sources inform me that this is not a trailer for an actual show just an aspiring director trying to get noticed. But as a Gossip Girl fan now transplanted to DC, I kind of want to see it.

One problem here, however, is that DC Prep is the name of a real school, a public charter school in Northeast mostly serving low-income families. And, by most accounts, doing a damn fine job of it getting good results for disadvantaged kids who would otherwise be wasting away in the distinctly subpar DCPS system. They're trying to steadily scale up the size of their operation both to help more students but also to try to prove that they have a concept that can work at larger scales and be a model for systematic changes.

"We're sorry, this video is no longer available."

Nitwit.

Allow me to recommend "Leverage" instead.

Bonus - you get to watch a segment from the canceled-before-it-ever-started "Global Frequency".

Another plug for it here:

For some reason it's not playing on my Linux Firefox, but it worked before.

Of course, the Democratic Party in DC is working to shut down all of the charter schools as a pay off to the corrupt teachers unions. When it comes down to paying off the teachers unions or educating children, the Democratic party is always consistent in choosing the teachers.
