[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what exactly is the new plan and policy?[/quote] Because they cut off the livestream, we're all in the dark. I'm guessing we'll get the details when news reports are filed later today? This is all so bizarre.[/quote] MCPS's largest student racial group is Hispanic, and 36.6% of Hispanic students are chronically absent (based on MSDE report card). Whey are more than 1/3 of Hispanic students chronically absent? Are they helping their family or are they doing something else? In fact some Hispanic groups surveyed MCPS's Hispanic students and found that many of them are not going to school because they were undereducated in their home countries (many of them are immigrant children and are ESOL students) and cannot keep up with the work, even the ESOL work. I look forward to see whether MCPS addresses this massive problem in the school system. [/quote] Right. This is no longer a school system primarily of UMC kids. It is increasingly a system of high needs kids. 2021-2022 numbers: 40% of the kids are FARMS 18% are ESOL 33% Hispanic 22% Black 25% White 14% Asian This is in a county that is 42% white and with a 5% poverty rate. Think about that. Essentially, white families with financial means have fled the system. [/quote] Not a conclusion you can make from the data you've given. What are the demographics of all school-aged kids in MoCo?[/quote] Look at 2002-3 numbers: https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/regulatoryaccountability/glance/fy2003/schools/county.pdf White 46.1% Black 21.4% Hispanic 17.9% Asian 14.2% FARMS 22.5% ESOL 8.5% In 20 years, FARMS, ESOL, and Hispanic percentages doubled or nearly doubled, and White percentage nearly halved.[/quote] Excellent. With all this diversity I’m sure the schools are doing fantastically well. It’s our strength you know.[/quote] Yeah, I miss the good ol' days when POC knew their place - and it wasn't MoCo - too. [/quote] Yeah. That’s totally what PP is going for :roll: There is a happy medium you know. [/quote]
