[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could be wrong but I think the uniforms at Brooks (former Maury) and LCTA were instituted by the principals there. That may be the variable.

More concerning is why LCTA is allowed to be the only elem school that uses the Core Knowledge while others don’t. Is an issue of equity that no one I’ve ever broached the subject with is interested in discussing.[/quote]

Maury is a shadowed of what it was under Jackson's leadership. That guy Powell undid every success she created.[/quote]

Way to get in your digs at every opportunity. My kid is thriving at Brooks (Maury), and so are the many other Brooks students [b]that we know[/b]. Yes, we loved Mrs. Jackson when our older kid was there, but our younger child has had a great experience so far. We were fine with uniforms, but kiddo much prefers to choose her own outfits.[/quote]

That's great that your kid is thriving and so are the ones you know. But that isn't what other kids are experiencing at the school so please be respectful of that. Some people aren't just satisfied if their kid is doing great and would like to see all kids thrive.

Last school year, only 37% of economically disadvantaged kids were proficient in reading. 33% were proficient in math. 29% in science. [/quote]

[b]Those numbers are not  that much outside the norm.[/b] Shockingly - ACPS has been preaching equity and has been focusing on low performing kids long enough that the low performing kids my kid went to school with in K are now low performing seniors. In other words, don’t expect much to change in the next decade. Oh btw they started talking about bldg a new high school when our kid was in K and now they are a senior so you can see how incredibly slowly things change 😊[/quote]

You're right of course (except for Lyles Crouch). George Mason was much lower (30% & 21%) and Mount Vernon was even lower than that (25%/20%).

You're right, change doesn't come to ACPS. Feel sorry for those people starting K who think the middle schools will be better by the time they get there or the high school will be better by the time they get there. They'll believe their neighbors who say "oh my kids are in honors/AP they NEVER see the violence" and think that attitude is acceptable and not racist at all. [/quote]
