[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes - ACPS is completely unresponsive to parent concerns. For example, while I disagree with the position of Open ACPS but ACPS’s attack on the members’ right to question and express concern is appalling.[/quote]

Agreed.  I don't agree with Open ACPS either, and think that some of their members' comments elsewhere are out there, but totally agree on the attack on the rights of any parents (not just Open ACPS members) to question and express concerns is inappropriate.[/quote]

Piling on with agreement here.  ACPS and the School Board are entirely dismissive of parent concerns.  And it's nothing new.  Parents have a right to "question and express concern".   But that isn't the prevailing opinion in Alexandria.  I don't really follow Open ACPS because I've given up.  But any parent should be able to say what they think without being vilified by ACPS, the School Board, the PTAs, PTAC (could there be a more useless group?) and other parents.

I'm (thankfully) in my last few months of having a kid in the school system.  Thankfully I only wasted the elementary years of one kid in this broken and failed school system.

I've been that parent who has been very involved, who engages and speaks out.  And I've been viciously attacked for it.

I have great sympathy for the OpenACPS crowd.  It's endearing that they think they can change things or will be listened to.
