[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three numbskull school board members recalled.

https://www.npr.org/2022/02/16/1081035770/san-francisco-voters-recall-three-school-board-members

Most surprising thing I read in the article, though: SF has a population of over 800,000 but only 50,000 students in its school system.[/quote]
I'm originally from that area. Numbers aren't surprising.

-SF is not family friendly. There are a lot of single/childless people in SF
-Many who have families eventually move out
-Some put their kids in private school
-The few I know in public got their kid into Lowell

But yes, good for SF parents. [b] I hope DC area schools are paying attention.[/b]  We have huge issues in schools right now, the least of which is the name of the school and wanting to change it due to changing societal norms and cultures.  Leave the magnets alone, and focus on the embarrassing fact that a large % of URM can't read/write or do math at grade level.  Sending a few URM to magnets isn't going to make the metrics for achievement for this group look any better.

Smaller class sizes, additional aides/para teachers, and being IN class -- those are the things that would help get those kids at grade level.[/quote]

""why the school board is advancing a plan to have all these schools renamed by April, when there isn't a plan to have our kids back in the classroom by then." - this sounds like something that would happen in DC
Good for the people in San Francisco! I am glad they took action.
