This is a well performing school in a good nyc district. Parents want homework. My honors parents complain when there is not homework. I really have mixed opinions on HW overall, but believe it is ok especially in moderation, and students benefit from working on skills and reading at home.

Also, there is tons of homework at the competitive high schools these kids are trying to get into- so what does it say if we give them 0 homework for years before?

It’s all absurd. There is no accountability for students or parents; all on the teachers. I am expected to call parents when kids have missing assignments (!) even though I spend hours per week updating a digital gradebook that has EVERYTHING there. And I have 150 students.

This is why teachers want to leave

But at least we have more equity in outcomes, right?

No. The Asian American kids have involved and educated parents who will teach them at home and they will continue to be high achievers. In fact, due to MCPS policies, the achievement gap has become an Achievement Chasm that can never be bridged because now more than one generation is undereducated and lazy.

No equity in outcome. The rest of the MCPS students have already starting to flunk out in college and in life.

MCPS will close the gap by dumbing everyone down even more. Every magnet and honors class will be FOR ALL.

Progressives run MCPS. Progressives are tying to progress to Marxism. Therefore, MCPS's mission is to teach why Marxism is good. Because they can't say this, of course, they cloud that message with talk about equity which is simply Marxism in sheep's clothing. "These groups are doing worse because they are oppressed so we're going to take power from those who have too much and give it to those tho have too little."

Marxists don’t believe in education?

The GOP hates public education so they have that in common.

I'm A Democrat but I'm starting to see the GOP's point. We're at a W school and I think the education our kids are getting is decent. So we put up with things like CRT and gender ideology being taught (we counterprogram at home). But if MCPS continues on it's current path, the schools here will be little more than daycare centers and prisons in the next decade. What choice will parents who care about education have other than private school.

Attendance is a priority because Chronic Absenteeism is up nationwide following the pandemic.

It's unfortunate, but kids who aren't interested in showing up would be my lowest priority since you can make people who simply don't care.

Seems like the GOP's plan to dumb down public schools is working.

A man wearing a wig and a skirt says he's a woman and you believe him but a man who isn't woke and insane says he's a Democrat and you don't? This is progressivism in 2023.

They often qualify their extreme views to help normalize them.

Woke is a pathological need to find injustice even where it doesn't exist. Wokes view the world through a lens of oppressor and oppressed or through left-wing identity politics and support socialist or Marxist reforms that would upend free and fair societies, expand the state, oppress most or all people, and seek policy changes that would radically, illiberally, and negatively alter society.

Well OK, then. So most of the people called "woke" aren't really "woke" by your definition. Thanks for the clarification.
