[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]NP here. Sure, but there is an issue with all these UMC white kids whose parents profusely claim their kids never see any fights or have any problems in ACPS because they’re basically segregated in honors classes making friends only with the other white UMC kids whose parents make identical claims. These parents will cling onto these claims with an iron fist in opposition to any complaints about ACPS, and they don’t think any changes are needed because it’s working for them, their kids get to claim they were in all honors in a very poor performing school system to the detriment to minorities and poorer kids that go there. They’re not fighting or supporting widespread school changes, they’re not acknowledging or supporting changes that would help the other students, unless it starts effecting their kid (such as their kid gets beat up or can’t go to the bathroom during the day). Out of sight, out of mind.

And that position is horrible for society in general, racists, and gross.[/quote]

I don't agree.  Lots of parents are trying to make the situation better by volunteering, getting involved, donating to donors choose and the PTA, and advocating to improve the schools.  
I don't think the school system is good, but I also think it would be very difficult for any school system to solve the overwhelming problems that some of the students are facing in their lives.[/quote]

The PTAs (except for two on the west end) do absolutely nothing to advocate for students. PTAC is even worse. They don't organize parents, they don't go to school board meetings. They tell parents to give them money and to bake cookies.

Where are the parents advocating to improve schools? They certainly don't show up at school board meetings or organize. They post on facebook pages that are monitored and curated by ACPS sycophants. [/quote]
