[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CL, if you're still on here, what does this mean? "Reaffirm high expectations for academic performance and behavior across all cross sections of the student body [b]and put the supports in place for students to live up to those high expectations.[/b]"[/quote]

Good question. "High expectations" sounds like someone who is good with suspending more special needs and Black students. [/quote]

To be clear, “ High expectations” is a bad thing now ? Are we ok with Kenmore Middle talking about high expectations? Because here it is on APS website : https://kenmore.apsva.us/about/higher-expectations/[/quote]

Of course high expectations are not a bad thing. The problem is what happens when those high expectations are not met. In some people's world, that means discipline for the black and brown and special needs kids. [/quote]

Seems like a leap to go from he talks about high expectations to he wants to discipline black, brown, and special needs kids.

His own language states "put the supports in place for students to live up to those high expectations". Doesn't sound like RW "no excuses" BS talking points to me. My kid has a disability. I want more high expectations with proper supports instead of the well-meaning but low expectations and limited supports that means we have to rely on expensive tutors. [/quote]
