[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all the people saying get rid of equity as an issue…it’s not going to happen.  This is a concern across the country and I’m pretty sure school systems have to show how they will address achievement gaps.   So what do you suggest FCPS do?  I agree we shouldn’t lower standards.  But the topic/problem isn’t going away.   [/quote]

I would be utterly shocked if anyone wanted to stop trying to get rid of acheivement gaps. Youngkin certainly talked about zip codes not determining educational outcomes, so he wants to get rid of them. In my experience things like teaching structured literacy so that kids have the best possible shot at learning to read is a nearly universally supported issue - from the most progressive to the most conservative parents, and many teachers also.

What people want to get rid of is the paying money to the DEI-industrial-complex for consulting services that make the school board [i]look[/i] like it cares about equity without actually improving the lives of any children - and while taking away money that could be used to boost teacher salaries to boot. They want to get rid of teacher training based in the ideology of Kendi and DiAngelo. They want less talk about equity and more focus on academic acheivement.

Don't you close acheivement gaps by teaching kids rather than dumbing down tests?[/quote]
