Rip Van Winkle here apparently fell asleep in 2019 and just woke up. This is exactly what they mean when they say “equity” now.

That may be; but they're wrong and it's sending our schools (and society) downhill fast. Another example of seizing on a term and running with it thoughtlessly and taking the easiest way to superficially achieving the goal.

Remember that visual folks (including the SB) used to like to pull out to demonstrate "equity" - the kids standing on various sized/# of boxes looking over the fence to watch the baseball game? All the kids get to see the game by giving the kids who couldn't see over the fence boxes to stand on; not by cutting the fence line lower so the smallest one could see over and keeping all the kids on the same starting point. APS seems to miss that and is going about it backwards: lowering the goal so everyone reaches it, instead of helping those in need achieve the higher standard. [/quote]

If this is how you feel, do something about it! Stop grousing here on DCUM and TELL THE SCHOOL BOARD about your concerns before a new school year begins and the current policies toward homework and grading in the name of equity continue to be codified![/quote]
