[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]

You may have missed it but APS is changing the policy to make it co-ed. It is currently single sex. No one is kowtowing. People are rightly asking "why change it". It seems worth considering the pros and cons of changing it. There will be more opt-outs with this policy change. Is that worth whatever benefit there is? I don't know because they haven't provided a rationale for it. [/quote]
