[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]

Because - other than perhaps some special needs kids - black and brown kids shouldn't be held to those high expectations, or aren't capable of them? [/quote]
