Better hope it really is only interim.

Sorry Loudoun.

Does that mean he will try to do something about the unending problems with racism we've had in the school system? And you're against that why?

Equity in this sense is an intangible set of goals that can’t be measured, which leads to no accountability of performance. As opposed to those who have been discriminated against being brought up to standard scores, which can be measured. I hope no one is against equity, but not in the way these systems are using the term, to feel better about themselves and not helping students learn so that they can achieve success in the long term.

Equity means dumbing down the curriculum and given everyone less so that smart conscientious kids don’t get “ahead” of anyone. It’s utter BS.

Do you even acknowledge that there is a problem with racism in the school system? What do you think about the state's findings wrt racism in hiring and selecting students for the academies?

I'm familiar with it. But the solution is not holding everyone back until the others catch up. My kids are not old enough for the academics but I wouldn't send them anyway. The point is that with the "everyone can do honors" policy and the super lenient grading and retakes policy, the curriculum is so so watered down and kids that are even remotely smart are bored to tears.

I can’t believe I clicked on that. Whoever wrote it (pp?) has a diseased mind and shouldn’t be allowed to parent. What a moron.

Your kids aren’t school aged and you won’t send them anyway? This isn’t your lane.

I did not say they weren't school aged. I said they weren't old enough for the academics and they aren't, as my oldest is in 7th and both kids have gone through the gifted program, which is about as lame as it gets. They let anyone into honors, let anyone retake a test they did poorly on. The school board recently posted that graduating HS with a 4.0 doesn't even put you in the top half of the class. Its a joke.

Seriously. PP has very strong (and invalid) opinions about things she doesn’t understand and don’t affect her.

WTF, for example, is the objection to a retake policy? The objective of school is to learn the material, not compete for a bell curve of grades.

PP sounds like the kind of person who is frequently wrong but rarely in doubt.

What happened to "meeting students where they are?" Or does that only apply to kids who are behind?

A retake policy does meet students where they are

A stupid academy for advanced white and Asian students that excludes Black and Hispanic students technically meets those students where they are

Taking away the geometry requirement and moving to a lottery is just going to turn the school into a joke. It’s not going to help the black and Hispanic kids.

I knew a whip smart black guy in law school. He LOVED that law review had a totally blind selection process. He said it was the first thing in his life people would know he truly earned on merit, and not because he was black.

Wow, you have a Black friend! He clearly speaks for all Black people including students who the state has found to be systematically discriminated against when applying to higher level magnet academies.

How does a screening test discriminate? You just take the test and the score is what it is!

Same thing with middle school math tracks. Students are placed in their 6th grade math level based on their 5th grade MAP test score. How does this discriminate?
