[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this change really necessary at this time to align with a state mandated curriculum change? If no, then I think APS should direct energies elsewhere considering they are still facing many students with learning loss.

[b]And this doesn’t seem to be very respectful of the diverse community of APS. Many families hold more conservative views on such topics and APS should be respectful and inclusive of all. [/b]

Also didn’t Duran just say they were going to stop implementing new programs and changes and actually let the ones they have been making for years actually take hold?

So you don’t care that arlington’s student body is getting more diverse? What should we do? Send them all back to their country? [/quote]

I think it’s wonderful that APS is getting more diverse. I disagree that being “welcoming” means kowtowing to their religious beliefs and cultural hang ups. In the US, you are entitled to accommodation, that’s it. Not a seamless transition from the pulpit to the public school. [/quote]

Yes but if these immigrants are more comfortable with the policy that is already in place and seems to be working just fine, why change it?[/quote]

Also the reason why we have sex ed in schools is because it’s important from a public health perspective. Therefore it makes sense to teach the facts in a way that would reach the biggest audience possible. Keeping sex ed segregated achieves that. Coed classes mean more opt outs and more kids feeling awkward asking certain questions which make the classes less effective from a public health perspective. Remember it is APS and parents such as your self who are asking for a change. When something that is working perfectly fine is changed, there better be a good reason for doing so. [/quote]
