[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Are you completely unaware in your privileged bubble of the disproportionality in discipline of black kids and especially black boys? which would appear to indicate that they are being held to different standards? [/quote]

Lowering standards isn't the answer. Fixing the problem of not enforcing and disciplining consistently across student groups is.

Something tells me you have no idea how hard this is to fix and have never engaged in this work. You probably oppose DEI too! [/quote]
