[quote=Anonymous]I just don't think the school board, central office, city council, or mayor care. I am a lifelong Democrat. But when a parent speaks out, the members of the Democratic party are all over that person, name calling, diminishing their lived experience, victim blaming. It infuriates me. I am so tired of having to advocate for my kids in ACPS. It would be a lot easier to go private, but my kids love ACPS and they offer the accelerated curriculum they need academically that the private schools I can afford do not. I honestly think that the central office and city WANT middle class and upper class parents to leave ACPS.

And I'm from a big city. Attended public schools in a poor to working class neighborhood. We did NOT have violence like this and people lived in poverty. First, no one's parents would have put up with that behavior. Second, our school set high expectations. There was no tolerance for violence. ACPS needs alternative schools or more than 1-2 middle schools and 1 high school. That is the issue. You can't move kids like you can in APS, FCPS, MCPS, DCPS. There is no alternative. [/quote]
