[quote=Anonymous][quote]I cannot point to one reason why there is ACPS parent fear for speaking out. For some, I think there is fear about being ostracized by the establishment (be it the Democratic establishment / PTAs / PTAC or ACPS leadership). For others, there may be defensiveness about ACPS in light of its outside reputation. For others, it could just be respect for “authority” and/or the purported expertise of educators (or administrators) (even if ACPS “educators” / administrators lack the expertise or are actively working against student best interest such as Specialized Instruction for special needs students (even if they have the expertise to know better).[/quote] Maybe those reasons apply to some - but I personally don't care about any of them, and neither does anyone that I am friendly with. We all just feel like we HAVE spoken out, and it doesn't have any effect or change anything. It just saps my energy and nothing changes at all.[/quote]
