I don't support those efforts and will vote for anyone else. [/quote]

DP.  You may think this was some self-own by PP, but "equity" has just become an excuse in FCPS for dumbing down academics and sharing less information with parents.  Brabrand started out with good intentions and turned into a stooge when he became aware that's what the all-D School Board wanted; Reid has been a stooge from Day One. [/quote]
To each his own. I AM voting for equity. If we're not working towards making education equitable, what's the point?![/quote]

We used to work towards making education excellent.  Now we're working towards making education equitable.  If education is not excellent, what's the point?[/quote]
Do you think the two are mutually exclusive? If education isn't equitable, can it really be considered excellent? [/quote]

Equity ignore the fact that humans are unique individuals,  with different strengths, weaknesses, drive, ability, interests, family histories, mental histories, intellect and goals.

Equity works in direct contrast to excellence.  They are incompatible.[/quote]

NP. Agreed. Equity as it is being understood and implemented, is a push to the middle. We care about bringing people up to average, and partially accomplish this by pushing down to the average. AAP is viewed as "inequitable" because it helps students who were going to be fine anyway achieve what they are capable of. The goal becomes "fine" for everyone, which means you don't have to bother with achievement or excellence. Instead of doing the work of differentiating and teaching to different levels, we are villainizing achievement. As a result, this sort of equity is incompatible with excellence.[/quote]

No, it's giving all kids a chance to rise up, not just those who were identified by a couple of tests in 2nd grade.

Then why are gen ed classes increasingly dumbed down?  No homework, no reading assignments, low expectations.  No one rises up like that.  But it's equitable.  [/quote]

Homework is inequitable.[/quote]

Do you think it’s ok for children to participate in after school clubs and sports? [/quote]
