[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read the article online. So depressing but so true. MCPS is a sinking ship. Let’s hope someone at the top has some common sense and can attempt to improve things. I teach HS in MCPS and [b]the only thing my administration seems concerned about is the anti-racism audit[/b].[/quote]

The crazy thing is, from my vantage point as a parent, no one in MCPS is actually DOING anything with the audit. Like no meaningful or impactful systemic changes have come from it. It's just this document that we have that exists.[/quote]

There are things being done.  Like explicitly calling for diverse perspectives in ELA and SS curriculum RFPs.  Requiring SIP plans to be published on school websites.  Restorative Justice (even if not being done well everywhere.  Training for Staff (although I question some of the choices of training).   Having conversations and asking questions.  Having students explore missing voices.

If you think any of the things you mentioned, which I’m not even going to get into the degree to which those things you cited are actually systemically done with quality and fidelity, are moving the needle on making our system less racist and improving outcomes for non-white students, you are insane.[/quote]
