[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be honest, they need to lower the expectations in some of our more challenging schools. The idea that focus and Title 1 schools can use the same curriculum as Potomac/Bethesda schools is ridiculous. Both CKLA and Eureka are way too high for over 75% of our students. We need curriculums that are accessible and give the right level of challenge. When it’s constantly over the kids heads, they shit down and aren’t avail for learning. If we could show them success, they would want to be there and learning.[/quote]

So, the logical fallacy here is that you are proposing changing the curriculum based on school demographics rather than by the needs of individual students. CKLA and Eureka might be too challenging for some kids, but those kids existing "Potomac/Bethesda schools" as well. Maybe not in the same proportions, but they absolutely exist. So, if we assume there are kids in every school that need a different type of instruction, then we can have a real discussion rather than one driven by race/class. [/quote]
