[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People have lost their minds.  If parents do not want their children to excel academically, fine. But then live with the fact that DC will suffer the consequences.

And why is the SB wasting time on a consultant planning for field trips when 1) they aren't in school yet (field trips seem a moot point), and 2) those museums aren't even open yet!! [/quote]

With the 10th largest school system, why do we need consultants? Is this a covid  thing because I feel like our school system should be able to figure out field trips without outside help.[/quote]

The consultants are not for the field trips--the field trips are in addition.  Go read the information.  Then, go read how it is being implemented in other school systems.

FCPS plans to hire three Gatehouse specialists plus others to implement the program.  That alone, by what I could decipher is $1Million per year.  The field trips are about $1Million in addition to that, I think.  (I got the information from the slides posted at the work session, so I'm trying to read between the lines.) For sure, they plan on spending at LEAST $1Million per year on this program.

Do we really need more &quot;specialists&quot; at Gatehouse?  
They also plan to allot money for subs so that teachers can be indoctrinated.  (Excuse me, I mean &quot;trained&quot; in the program.&quot;

This program is not a nice &quot;let's everyone get along&quot; program.  It is a program which makes white kids acknowledge their &quot;white privilege&gt;&quot;  I'm not sure what it requires of AA kids--except to emphasize that Blacks have been victimized.  I am also not sure where Asians and Hispanics fit into this program.  But, it would appear from the materials that the purpose is to make all white people feel guilty.  At least, that is the way it is being implemented in a number of school systems.

As a former FCPS parent AND teacher....... all I have to say is thank goodness we are out of there. 
If this is anything like critical race theory - it is divisive, discriminatory and highly racist.
