[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS is a district focused primarily on the growth and success of low-income children of color.  From leadership down that is the priority, and it should be.

Fellow teacher here- although I don’t completely disagree with your sentiment, I want to add my two cents. One I don’t think you should prioritize one demographic over the other. If I am a school district, I focus on supporting the growth and success of all students. Secondly, I don’t believe the district prioritizes caring about anyone else his well-being other than their cushy administrative jobs and the teachers union.[/quote]

This is equity and it’s here to stay. Of course it doesn’t mean we should not move students on or above grade level. The focus and most resources should go to at risk students, meaning low ses, sped, homeless,etc. This mindset is also school to school. I am at a title 1 school and my principal has taken major points off IMPACT and has had difficult discussions with the staff members who think if you have a student above grade level they don’t have to grow. No they absolutely do.

And LMAO ah yes, so much focus on the teacher’s union. The district has really made an effort to make this an equitable, growth oriented, and resource rich environment.

It’s like parents and teachers don’t even look at school budgets. Tell me what extras elementary schools especially get? High school I see the most is an extra social worker, wooow so unfair. [/quote]
