[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, SWS has crossed into being weirdly obsessed with race.  Every book is about Black people.  Every art project is about Black people.  Every field trip is about Black people.  The children spend an inordinate amount of time on a yearly project called "Black Joy."  The mother's day art clay mugs created by the children weirdly had Black singers drawn onto the back of them. SWS is sorting parents into racial affinity groups.  The principal sends emails talking about how he's "a white man" and needs to focus on the school's "Black caregivers" and "Black and Brown students."

The number one thing the school could be doing to support Black students is ensuring that they are well prepared for middle school.  Yet the PARCC scores over the past 10 years have steadily declined, as SWS's singular focus on race has increased. [/quote]

It is kind of making me wonder whether it’s easier to hide a mediocre education behind all of this. If you question the falling PARCC scores, you’re now also a racist. Convenient. [/quote]
