Even as schools elsewhere have focused on issues like school funding, social justice and mental health in recent years, Mississippi schools like Hazlehurst have made academics their North Star.

[b]“At the end of the day, our job is teaching. Their job is learning,” [/b]said Ms. Langston, who added that no matter what is going on in a child’s life, the classroom is the one thing she can control. “If we don’t meet that need, we have failed them.”

[b]Do you think FCPS should focus more on learning and less on equity and mental health?[/b] [/quote]

[b]I walk and chew gum all the time[/b]. FCPS can manage to do the same. Fairfax county values equity and wants it in the schools.[/quote]

I’m not doubting YOU but my experience with schools and other bureaucracies is they claim they are walking and chewing gum at the same time but we all see them standing dead still, gnawing and smacking on that wad of gum. [/quote]
