[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here we go again…competing parents groups will be formed, accusations will be made, petitions will be circulated, “economists” will be  consulted, votes will be postponed, etc.  On and on it goes.[/quote]

It's the Arlington Way. [/quote]

Doubt there will be a competing group. Arlington is full of parents who busted ass to get here and they are going to be pretty skeptical of this approach, which essentially says they did it wrong. [/quote]

Arlington is also full of wealthy progressive parents who will not want to publicly oppose this.  Behind the scenes, some will express concern.  Others won’t care.[/quote]

Well, I sure as hell hope the SB who pulled his kid to private FOR THIS REASOn publicly opposes it rather than just b****ing about it on the soccer sidelines and making things okay for his own.

SBG for ES makes sense, as long as teachers are trained on how to implement it and there are very clear and consistent rules across APS. And yes, there needs to be more standardization across APS, even within schools, but that can be accomplished without SBG. This is another “balanced literacy” moment. Stop experimenting on our kids, you godd*** monsters! SBG at the secondary level will just mask inequality, while it grows, rather than addressing the root causes, and will NOT prepare kids for the world beyond APS, where they will be measured by both their effort and the end result.
