This. They’ve lost the plot.

I’ve posted this before but pick ANY FCPS ES and read the mission statement! Absolutely shameful!

Here are a few examples:

We, as a professional learning community, utilize research-based instructional strategies, monitor student progress for active learning, provide our students with the tools they need to succeed in life and model and encourage positive behavior to facilitate student learning of academics, life skills, and good citizenship.
———————

By providing an inclusive learning environment that embraces the contributions of each child, we will create a community of empowered lifelong learners and critical thinkers.
_________________
we envision a school where students will become literate, self-motivated, well-rounded, independent learners who demonstrate their responsibility to self and society.

—————————-
And from a HS

We prepare students to be principled and open-minded inquirers. 
We challenge students academically with diverse and authentic learning opportunities. 
We empower students to become reflective, knowledgeable, risk takers.
We encourage students to take pride in their contributions to their local, national and global communities.

Is this sarcasm? The Es ones especially seem fine. [/quote]

+1. I would kill for those mission statements. Here is Alexandria City High School, where I live:

“Our Mission Statement: To engage and equip all Titans to embrace anti-racism as a mindset and in practice. This includes:
1) Nurturing a community mindset that values diverse perspectives and backgrounds.
2) Committing to breaking down barriers--identifying the why and target supports for ALL students to succeed academically and behaviorally.
3) Embracing the restorative framework and exhibiting compassion.
4) Encouraging transparency and collaboration at all levels.”[/quote]

Oh, dear Lord.[/quote]
