[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4 want a reduction of FARMS at Drew (Van Doren is silent).[/quote] My listening has been periodically interrupted, I’d actually started to wonder if she was there because I hadn’t heard her talk until just now. Any sense of what her reluctance is?[/quote] she doesn't believe in reducing FARMS rates. She thinks that all schools are good and that we can (and do) spend our way out of any problems of poverty. (This is coming from listening to her over the years, not all said this evening.) Effectively, she views the desire for a diverse learning environment to be like the desire for expeditionary learning. She doesn't view it as necessary for education- and quite frankly I don't think she thinks it should be a factor at all. So she thinks that people who care about diversity can go to an option school where they gets those diverse experiences, but it is not something that the SB should impose on the rest of the county.[/quote]
